(C) Gregor Mendel's success in his experiments was largely due to his choice of the garden pea plant $(Pisum 	ext{ } sativum)$.One of the key reasons for his success was that the seven pairs of contrasting traits he studied were located on different chromosomes, or were so far apart on the same chromosome that they showed independent assortment.This lack of linkage allowed him to formulate the Law of Independent Assortment, which would have been much more complex to derive if the genes were linked.
