“THE PEA PLANT which Mendel chose for conducting experiments, is most ideal for controlled breeding, since it can easily be subjected to cross pollination. Mendel was fortunate enough in choosing the seven pairs of contrasting characters in pea plants. It was later discovered that the genes responsible for these characters are located on separate chromosomes. Mendel was also fortunate in the sense that the characters he had chosen in the pea plant did not show any interaction or linkage.”
