(i) Mendel choose garden pea for his experiments because :
(a) Pea plant is small and easy to grow
(b) A large number of true breeding varieties of pea plant are available.
(c) Short life cycle.
(d) Both self and cross pollination can be made possible. (Any two) 
(ii) Contrasting characters :
(a) Round/ Wrinkled seeds
(b) Tall/ Short plants 
(iii) When Mendel crossed two pea plants with a pair of contrasting characters only one character appeared in all the members of F1 progeny, the other remains hidden.
On selfing F1, the hidden characters reappeared in just 25% of the offsprings and the other 75% shared the characters expressed in F1. Mendel concluded that the character which expresses itself
in F1 and in 75% of the individuals of F2 is dominating while the other is recessive.
