Mendel selected pea plants for his research because of characteristics that lead to successful, reproducible scientific results. All of the following are characteristics that support success in his early work EXCEPT: a Pea plants produced true-breeding plants. b Pea plants express many phenotypes that are a blend of the characteristics of the parents. c Pea plants mature within one season. d Pea plants can be cultivated in large quantities at the same time.

Pea plants were well suited for Mendel's breeding experiments for all of the following reasons except: a) Peas exhibit variations in a number of observable characteristics, such as flower color and seed shape. b) Mendel and his staff could control the pollination between different pea plants. c) It is easy to obtain large numbers of offspring from any given cross. d) Many of the characteristics that vary in pea plants are not linked closely on the same chromosome. e) Peas have a particularly long generation time.
