Mendel was the first to study inheritance patterns in living organisms
He studied for 7 years on Pisum sativum (1856-1863) .
Firstly he produced pureline breeds of plants by repeated self pollination .
Why he choosed pea plant as subject for his experiment ?
1- short life span
2- easy self pollination
3- easy successful cross pollination
4- fertile hybrids
5- many seeds are produced in one go
