The correct answer is option (c) Peas normally produce very few offspring.

Mendel Found the plant very useful for the genetic experiments. The peas produce a very few offspring as compared to other plants, which was able to be count and differentiate very easily.

The peas grow fast, hence, Mendel can get crops easily in a short duration. the reproduction (self or cross) can be controlled.

Through his experiments, Mendel found out that the characteristics of the pea or the traits exist in two forms, dominant and recessive, which are inherited from one generation to another.

Answer from: ayoismeisalex

Gregor Mendel is a Central European Monk who studied genetics through plants. He is greatly known as the founder of modern science genetics. In his various experiments, Mendel cross-pollinated pea plants because the peas have characteristics that have two forms. This means that pea plants have both male and female reproductive systems. They have the capacity to self-pollinate or cross-pollinate with other plants and as a result, Mendel discovered the nature of genetic inheritance.

At that time, Mendel debunked the famous “blending theory” commonly believed by scientists. This is a theory in biology where scientists believed that through time traits of organisms blend from generation to generation to create new organisms.
