Question
Why pea plants were perfect to study on heredity?
- Pea plants are complex
- They were easy to study
- One gene controlled one trait
- One gene was controlled by multiple traits
Hint:
A single gene was responsible for one characteristic.
The correct answer is: One gene controlled one trait
Mendel has preferred pea plants for his experiments because
- Presence of observable traits with contrasting forms.
- It produces many offspring in one cross.
- Short life cycle.
- Ease in manipulating pollination (cross pollination).
- One gene controlled one trait
