Solution

The correct option is A Plant colour
Mendel chose some pairs of 7 contrasting characters for his study on genetics-based on Pisum sativum. The characters chosen were:
1. Flower colour is purple or white
2. Flower position is axial or terminal
3. Stem length is long or short
4. Pod shape is inflated or constricted
5. Pod colour is yellow or green
6. Seed shape is round or wrinkled
7. Seed colour is yellow or green
Plant colour was not one of the characteristics chosen by him and thus, B is the correct option.
