Mendel chose to study pea plants for their diversity. Give an example of an organism that would be difficult to use in the study of genetics. Justify your response in two or more complete sentences.

Microscopic organisms would be difficult to study genetics on because it is very hard to tell what trait are similar and which are different.

Humans. Pea plants are easy to study genetics on for their diversity because they are easy to breed and do not take a long time to reproduce. Humans would be difficult to study genetics on because a study like that would take generations.
