✅Explanation:
Gregor Mendel, the father of modern genetics, chose pea plants (Pisum sativum) for his groundbreaking experiments.

🔑Key Points:
-Johann Mendel was born on 20 July 1822 Heinzendorf bei Odrau, Silesia, Austrian Empire.
-Mendel's pea plant experiments conducted between 1856 and 1863 established many of the rules of heredity, now referred to as the laws of Mendelian inheritance.

✏Mendel worked with seven characteristics of pea plants:
-​Plant height, pod shape and colour, seed shape and colour, and flower position and colour.

🛑Additional Information:

✏The reason for the selection of pea plants for the genetic experiments are:
-They have excellent disease resistance and have an optimal rate of survival.
-The generation time of pea plants is less.
-Easy to obtain pure breed plant through self-fertilization.
-The flowers of pea plants are hermaphrodite, i.e flowers have bisexual characteristics.
-Easy to grow in the garden.
