Solution
The correct option is A I & II are correct
Mendel selected garden pea plants for his hybridisation experiments and conducted inheritance studies because pea plants have bisexual flowers. They can undergo self-pollination and, by emasculation, can undergo cross-pollination too.
The characters were highly contrasting and provided clear visibility and distinction. Moreover the results i.e., the next generation offspring can be obtained in a shorter time as the life span of the garden pea plant is short.
