Solution

The correct option is C He did not encounter linkage

He chose garden pea that was easy to grow and to hybridise artificailly.

The plant reproduce well and grows to maturity in a single season.

Mendel then chose to follow seven visible features(unit characters), each represented by two contrasting forms or traits.

Mendel was fortunate in choosing a diploid plant because diploid organisms contain only two sets of chromosomes.

A singe alteration in a trait was therefore demonstrated by a visible differences between varieites.

He restricted his examination to one or very few pairs of contrasting traits in each experiment.

He also kept accurate quatitative records, a necessity in genetic experiments.

In his experiments, no appearance of recombinations and linkage.

So, the correct option is ‘He did not encounter the linkage’.
