Peas have characteristics that have two forms.
Mendel chose peas because they had easily distinguishable, contrasting traits (e.g., tall vs. short, yellow vs. green), true-breeding varieties, short generation time, many offspring, and reproduction he could control — making them ideal for studying inheritance.
