Answer 1

The correct option is B Axial

Axial flower position in garden pea is dominant over the terminal.

A character usually has alternating forms called alleles. In a pair of alleles, the allele which suppresses the expression of the other is called dominant while the one that gets suppressed in presence of a dominant allele is called a recessive allele.
