Briefly explain why each of the following traits made peas an effective model system for genetic research. For each trait, illustrate your argument by giving an example of u species or type of organism that lacks such a trait and would therefore make genetic research more difficult or intractable. Can be used in controlled crosses Short generation time Existence of \"true-breeding\" (i.e.. inbred or homozygous) lines Produces large number of progeny.

Solution

Peas is an effective model of genetic research because it has certain characters or traits which are useful for studying and help in the research the genetics. Mendel choosed this pea plant because this pea plants reproduction can easily be manipulated.It is self fertilized so that if outside manipulation is absent this plants automatically or naturally self-fertizes as it has both male and female parts.It is true breeding.plant.This plant is grown in one season and produces large quantity in less time .So this helped Mendel to perform quntitative analysis.So all these conditions are truely appicable for peas plant no other plant meet all these qualities in one.so Mendel choosed pea plant.
