Identify the recessive traits in a pea plant.
Give the contrasting traits of the following characters in pea plant and mention which is dominant and which is recessive :
(a) Yellow seed, green seed (b) Round seed, wrinkled seed
" He selected seven contrasting pairs of characters or traits in a garden pea. These include round/wrinkled seeds, tall/short plants, green/yellow pod colour, purple/white flower colour, axial/terminal flower, green/yellow pod colour, and inflated/pinched ripe pods".
Green/yellow pod colour is repeated , so there will be 6 characters?
With respect to the experiments performed by Mendel on pea plants, how many can be classified as traits of a character? Axial flower, yellow pod, flower position, pod shape, terminal flower, wrinkled seed, tall plant, white flower, seed shape.
Question 34 Give the pair of contrasting traits of the following characters in pea plant and mention which is dominant and recessive. (i) yellow seed (ii) round seed (iii) green seed (iv) wrinkled seed.
