Solution

The correct option is C Wrinkled seed
Mendel chose seven pairs of contrasting traits, namely plant height, flower position, pod colour, pod shape, seed colour, seed shape and flower colour. The axial flower position was recessive to terminal position. Green seed and wrinkled seeds were recessive to yellow and round seeds; yellow, constricted pods were recessive to green and full pods. Dwarf stem and white flowers were recessive to tall stem and violet flowers. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
