Solution
The correct option is BLathyrus odoratus Bateson and Punnet (1906), while working with sweet pea (Lathyrus odoratus) observed that flower colour and pollen shape tend to remain together and do not assort independently as per Mendel’s law of independent assortment. This led to the discovery of linkage of genes.
