What type of plant did Gregor Mendel use for his experiments to identify the Laws of Inheritance?
Answer: C
Mendel used Pisum sativum, the garden pea.
Gregor Mendel worked with the garden pea from 1856 to 1863 because it has clear contrasting characters (tall and dwarf, round and wrinkled seeds, and others), a short life cycle and flowers that normally self-pollinate but can be crossed by hand. His results gave the laws of segregation and independent assortment.
Solanum lycopersicum is the tomato and Triticum aestivum bread wheat. Pisum tuberosum mixes the pea genus with the potato's species name (Solanum tuberosum) and is not a real plant.
