Why did Mendel choose to study pea plants in order to learn how traits are passed from parent to offspring?

• Pea plants grow quickly
• Pea plants are ultraviolet
• Pea plants are rare and expensive
• Pea plants are take years to grow

• genetics
• gene

This trait always shows up in an organism when the allele is present

• dominant allele
• codominance
• probability
• recessive allele

This trait is hidden whenever the dominant allele is present

• dominant allele
• codominance
• recessive allele
