In his classic experiment on pea plants, Mendel did not use ___________.
The correct option is B Pod length
Mendel selected 14 true breeding pea plant
varieties, as pairs which were similar except for one character with contrasting
traits.
S.No Character Contrasting traits Chromosome number
1. Stem height Tall / dwarf 4
2.
Flower position Axial/terminal
4
3.
Flower colour
Violet/white 1
4.
Pod shape Inflated/constricted 4
5. Pod colour Green/yellow 5
6.
Seed colour
Yellow/Green
1
7.
Seed shape Round/wrinkled 7
In this 1 character is related to stem height,
2 characters are related to flower, 2 characters related to pod, 2 characters
are related to seed.
So,
the correct option is ‘Pod length’.
