Question

Out of the given traits for the characters pod shape and pod colour of a garden pea plant, which traits are dominant for that character?

• A. Full and green pods
• B. Constricted and yellow pod
• C. Full and yellow pod
• D. Constricted and green pod

Answer 1

The correct option is A Full and green pods

Here two contrasting traits of two different characters of pods in a pea plant have been shown - Pod shape and pod colour. Green pod colour is dominant over yellow pod colour and full pod shape which can also be called inflated is dominant over constricted pod shape.

These characters were two of the seven characters selected by Mendel for his hybridisation studies on pea plant.
