Title: Why were garden peas a good organism for Gregor Mendel to use in his study of heredity? Post by: miriamnaj on Sep 15, 2012 Garden peas were inexpensive.
Garden peas reproduce quickly. Garden peas have only 14 chromosomes. Garden peas are pollinated by insects. Title: Why were garden peas a good organism for Gregor Mendel to use in his study of heredity? Post by: mireles_4 on Sep 15, 2012 gardening is also fun
Title: Why were garden peas a good organism for Gregor Mendel to use in his study of heredity? Post by: Miriamm on Sep 15, 2012 This is the third or fourth question you've asked that is obviously homework or a take-home exam.
All of this information is either in your textbook or can be easily learned by reading your textbook. I suggest you do that. You are eventually going to have to learn to do this sort of research and comprehension on your own - why not start now?

for me........ it is potatoes...for him PEAS. To each their own. Title: Why were garden peas a good organism for Gregor Mendel to use in his study of heredity? Post by: sm454361 on Sep 15, 2012 I think it was easy to grow, easy to reproduce, and and easy to pollinate. I would say to answer your question with the list of answers it is #2 easy to reproduce. You need an easy test subject to rule out as many variables as possible.
Title: Why were garden peas a good organism for Gregor Mendel to use in his study of heredity? Post by: smack on Sep 15, 2012 They were easy to grow, readily reproduce, and had a good set of readily observable variant traits. Mendel lucked out in that the traits assorted independently of each other!
Title: Why were garden peas a good organism for Gregor Mendel to use in his study of heredity? Post by: daveys on Sep 15, 2012 Gregor Mendel selected garden pea ( pisum sativum ) for his hybridization experiments because of the following reasons-
1) Plants are annual & easy to cultivate. 2) Pea has many distinct , well defined & easily observable morphological characteristics ( traits). 3) Flowers are bisexual & naturally self fertilizing , but they can be easily cross fertilized also . 4) The offsprings of cross fertilization are fertile . 5) Flowers are suffiently large for easy emasculation ( removal of stamens) & artificial cross pollination. But it has been proved tht Mendel got success more bcoz of the luck factor rather than his efforts............. i know it might be funny now ,since i have already provided u with a proper answer , to tell u to go , open ur textbook & be a bit friendly with it.......... these facts r there in ur textbook............. |
