Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mendel used pea plants for his studies on inheritance because they have several easily observable traits (such as seed color and shape, flower color and position, pod shape and color, etc.) that are determined by only one or a few genes. This made it easier for him to track the inheritance patterns of these traits across generations of plants.
