pea plants show very different traits that are easy to tell apart and they grow relatively fast

Gregor Mendel used pea plants to discover genetics and its principles.
Gregor Mendel used pea plants to study heredity.
HeredityHe used them to study genetics (the passing down of traits).
Gregor Mendel used traditional manual methods such as cross-pollination and careful record-keeping for his pea plant experiments. He observed the patterns of inheritance by systematically breeding pea plants with specific traits over multiple generations. Mendel's experiments laid the foundation for modern genetics.

He used pea plants.
Mendel is famous for his work with pea plants. These experiments led to the Law of Segregation and the Law of Independent Assortment. Several different pea-plant traits were used in his experiments, including seed type and flower colour.

Mendel studied plant inheritance.
Gregor Mendel conducted his experiments on pea plants (Pisum sativum) to study heredity. He chose pea plants because they were easily grown, had observable traits that were easy to control, and exhibited clear patterns of inheritance.
Gregor Mendel studied sweet pea plants and was the first to discover magnifie glass (p.s. if i spelled something wrong sorry about that just as your parents):):D
