1. It is a naturally self-fertilizing plant and so it is very easy to raise pure-breeding individuals.
2. It has a short life span as it is an annual and so it is possible to follow several generations.
3. It is easy to cross-pollinate the pea plant.
4. It has deeply defined contrasting characters.
5. The flowers are all bisexual.
Therefore the pea plant proved to be an ideal experimental plant for Mendel.
