Question

How many characters selected by Mendel for his hybridisation experiments were related to seed?

• A. One
• B. Two
• C. Four
• D. Three

Answer 1

The correct option is B Two

Mendel performed hybridisation experiments on pea plants.

He selected seven characters for his hybridisation experiments.

Each character has two contrasting traits, one dominant and one recessive.

The following are the seven characters selected by Mendel.


Among them, two characters were selected with respect to seed: seed colour and seed shape.

Yellow colour of seeds is dominant over green colour.
Round seed shape is dominant over the wrinkled seed shape.
