Question

In seven pairs of contrasting characters in a pea plant studied by Mendel, the number of flower based characters were

• A. 1
• B. 2
• C. 3
• D. 4

Answer 1

The correct option is B 2

The plant chosen by Mendel was Pisum sativum. He selected 7 characters to study. Out of it, two were related to flower. He chose to study flower colour - purple (dominant) and white (recessive); flower position - axial (dominant) and terminal (recessive), that is two flower based characters.

So, the correct answer is '2'
