Q. If we cross pea plant with yellow colour seed to a pea plant with green coloured seed, what colour seed will we get?

1. Only yellow colour seed
2. Only green colour seed
3. More green colour seed than yellow
4. More yellow colour seed than green

Q. Which of the following is not a dominant character in the Mendel's experiment of inheritance on peas?

1. Tallness of plant
2. Wrinkled shape of seeds
3. Yellow colouration of seed
4. Round shape of seeds

Q. The next generation seeds of plants bred by Mendel were ____.

1. bit rough
2. bit smooth
3. either rough or smooth
4. bit short

Q. Which of the following trait did Mendel find dominating?

1. Round shape of seeds
2. Green colour of seed
3. Short height of the plant
4. Wrinkled shape of seed

Q. Which type of pea plant will be produced if we cross tall pea with dwarf pea?

2. Dwarf
3. Tall
4. Tall and dwarf

Q. Gregor Mendel was doing experiments on pea plants. For seven years he did experiments on 28, 000 plants in the garden of the monastery. During his experiments, he found that the pea plant has some traits which come in pairs. Like the seed is either rough or smooth. It is either yellow or green, and the height of the plant is either tall or short. He also observed that if he takes two plants with different traits, for example one plant with yellow seeds and another with green seeds as parent plants, the next generation will have 75% plants with yellow seed and 25% plants with green seeds as the yellow color trait is dominant over the green color. What will be the height of plants of the next generation, if Mendel chose one tall and one short plant as parents and tall being the dominant trait?

1. The next generation will have some plants with tall height and some with short height.
2. There will not be any next generation plant as Mendel took two different kinds of pea plants by mistake.
3. The next generation plants will be of medium height as there are two different types of pea plant involved.
4. The next generation plants will be tall as the tall trait is dominant.
