Question
Mendel selected peas as material for his experiments because-
- It is an annual plant with a comparatively short life cycle
- The flowers are self-pollinated
- The number of seeds produced is quite large
- All the above.
Answer
All the above
Explanation:
Mendel chose pea plants for his experiments because they are annual plants with a short life cycle, making it possible to conduct several generations of experiments in a short time. The flowers of pea plants are also self-pollinating, which ensures that there is no cross-pollination between different plants. Additionally, the pea plant produces a large number of seeds, making it possible to obtain statistically significant results.
