why are garden-pea plants good for genetic experiments?

Answer 1

this is because of several reasons
1.garden peas have small generation period so a number of generations may b studied in a small time.
2.the characters noticed in garden pea r quite distinct and easy to recognise.like seed shape,height(tall or short),colour of pod(yellow or green),wrinkled or smooth.
3.most of the characters studied in garden pea r located on different chromrsomes so there r less chances of crossing over and more accurate results r obtained.for example the 7 traits mendel studied were located on 4 chromosomes....
4.in garden pea the female flower may b easy covered by a plastic bag to avoid contamination by an unwanted pollen...

Answer 3

Mendel finished his breeding experiments with pea flora because of the fact he ought to observe inheritance varieties in as much as two generations in a 300 and sixty 5 days. same with the geneticists of immediately they typically carry out their breeding experiments with species that reproduce lots greater at once so as that the quantity of money and time required is critically decrease. the straightforward specimens like fruit flies and bacteria are popular for this purpose. Fruit flies reproduce in approximately 2 weeks from start, jointly as bacteria, which includes E. coli present day in our digestive structures, reproduce in only 3-5 hours.

Answer 4

They grow fairly quickly, produce plenty of viable seed. Mendel may not have chosen peas for his experiements because they were necessarily the best -- but because he was growing them already.
