Solution
The correct option is D A, B, C & D
Mendel selected the pea plant for his experiments because this plant has a short life cycle, and shows distinct contrasting characters. It possesses bisexual flowers that undergo self-fertilisation, while they could also be conveniently cross-fertilised. Also, he could obtain large number of progeny which made his experimental results more valid.
