Why did gregor mendel use peas in his experiments?
a)peas grow very slowly.
b)pea reproduction cannot be controlled.
c)peas normally produce very few offspring.
d)peas have characteristics that have two forms.

Gregor Mendel is a Central European Monk who studied genetics through plants. He is greatly known as the founder of modern science genetics. In his various experiments, Mendel cross-pollinated pea plants because the peas have characteristics that have two forms.  This means that pea plants have both male and female reproductive systems. They have the capacity to self-pollinate or cross-pollinate with other plants and as a result, Mendel discovered the nature of genetic inheritance.

At that time, Mendel debunked the famous “blending theory” commonly believed by scientists. This is a theory in biology where scientists believed that through time traits of organisms blend from generation to generation to create new organisms.
