Patterns of inheritance within organisms like pea plants, fruit flies, mice, and others are somewhat easy to determine since their mating practices can easily be controlled. Apart from controlling who mates with whom, what other characteristics make species like these ideal for studying genetics?

Due to following reasons these organisms are useful for studying genetics.

Explanation:

These organisms offer following characteristics which help in understanding the inheritance pattern in living organisms:

1. They allow which traits can be inherited from the parents to the offsprings.

2. These organisms are easy to grow and cultured.

3. These organisms can bred rapidly and can show many observable characteristics.
