As with all plants, the pea plants of which Gregor Mendel studied needed time to grow and mature into adult pea plants. His discoveries in the world of genetics and how traits are passed from parent to offspring would not have been at all possible if he did not wait long enough for the plants to mature. He needed such a long time to study them for the reason that plants will only reproduce if they are sexually mature enough to do so.

Why did Mendel benift from his decision to join monastery?

Mendel's work on genetics would probably not have happened outside of a monastery. Such a massive, years-long study required a setting where the experimenter(s) could concentrate on a pretty esoteric field, without any need to produce anything of "value" over the years. Someone trying to support himself or a family while doing these experiments would probably have gone hungry after a year or so; and it is unlikely that any patron or government would have supported this work, as it did not seem to have any "payback." In a monastery, however, Mendel could do this work without distraction or need to "produce" anything. It is important to remember that, although Mendel revolutionized biology with his work, neither he -- nor anybody else -- realized this fact at the time. It appears he did these tests due to simple curiosity.

What does a leaf need to stay alive?

It needs to be connected to the plant. As long as the plant has water, nutrients the plant and leaves) will continue to live Leaves grow and achieve a specific pattern and shape, then stop.

Not very long. About a day or so, seeing as plants need nutrients to survive. Without nutrients, the plant and its cells will shrivel up and die. Along with the plant.

What degree in which fields would I need to get a plant biotechnology job?

You would need a bachelors of science in Plant Biotechnology, where you would study the genetic structure and mechanism of various plants. You might want to get a Graduate certificate in plant biotechnology so you would increase your chances of getting a job in this field.
