Question

In Pea, wrinkling of seeds is due to nonformation of starch because of the absence of enzyme

• A. Amylase
• B. Invertase
• C. Branching enzyme
• D. Diastase.

Answer 1

The correct option is C Branching enzyme

In pea, the gene which controls starch synthesis also controls the shape of the seed.

In the pea plant with wrinkled seeds, this gene is not involved in the synthesis of starch due to the absence of enzyme starch synthase. It is a branched enzyme.

So, the correct option is ‘Branching enzyme’.
