Garden pea-plants are good for genetic experiments because the garden pea has many traits that have two clearly different forms that are easy to tell apart. :)
They are easy to cross then
to cross the genetics of plants...
Peas
Mendel was cross-breeding plants. His work with pea plants supported Darwin. I guess he was a plant geneticist.
The monk named Gregor Mendel is called the Father of Genetics. His experiments with pea plants showed that the inheritance of certain traits follows particular patterns, subsequently becoming the foundation of modern genetics and leading to the study of heredity. Even though he did his work in the mid 1800's, he wasn't given credit until the turn of the century (1900).
We ask you to do your research and write a couple of paragraphs for yourself. You will understand it better and will be better prepared for the next test.

Pea Plants
Mendel experimented with pea plants to learn about genetics.
Gregor Mendel studied genetics with his pea plants
Mendel became famous for his study of the pea plant. Gregor Mendel's study of this plant led to significant contributions in the field of genetics and heredity. He is called the" father of modern genetics." Mendel was born in 1822 and died in 1884.

Known as "The Father of Genetics", Gregor Johann Mendelrevolutionized scientific advancement with his research on inheritance in pea plants. His work is now known as Mendelian inheritance.
