PEA

Peas are a genus of flowering plants from the Legume family. It is an annual herbaceous plant with weak, curling stems. The leaves are pinnate, ending in branched (branched) antennae, with the help of which the pea clings to other surfaces. The generic feature is a three-ribbed column in the flower, with a groove below and hairs above. One of the founders of genetics, Gregor Mendel, studied the inheritance of seven characteristic features of peas and such thus derived the laws now known as Mendel’s Laws (three genetic laws in total). Pea plants are self-pollinated, cross-pollination rarely occurs. Self-fertilization occurs in the bud before the flower opens.
