Solution

The correct option is C The genes for different characters are located on different chromosomes in Pisum sativum.
Mendel was lucky because he used pea plant i.e. Pisum sativum, they are bisexual, they had pure breeding varieties with observable characters, & each character is regulated by one type of gene, whether it is tall, dwarf, round or wrinkled etc. It was an ideal choice for him.
So, the correct answer is "The genes for different characters are located on different chromosomes in Pisum sativum".
