Mention the advantages of selecting pea plant for experiment by Mendel.

(N/A) Mendel selected pea plants to carry out his study on the inheritance of characters from parents to offspring.
He selected a pea plant because of the following features:
$1$. Peas have many visible contrasting characters such as $Tall/Dwarf$ plants,$Round/Wrinkled$ seeds,$Green/Yellow$ pods,$Purple/White$ flowers,etc.
$2$. Peas have bisexual flowers and therefore undergo self-pollination easily. Thus,pea plants produce offspring with the same traits generation after generation.
$3$. In pea plants,cross-pollination can be easily achieved by emasculation,in which the stamen of the flower is removed without affecting the pistil.
$4$. Pea plants have a short life span and produce many seeds in one generation.
