Question

Which of the following is not a dominant trait in pea plant?

• A. Tall plant
• B. Yellow colouration of seed
• C. Wrinkled shape of seed
• D. Round shape of seed

Answer 1

The correct option is C Wrinkled shape of seed

Through the experiment of inheritance on pea plants, Mendel postulated that there are traits that are dominant over the other traits. The round shape of seeds, the tall height of the plant, yellow color of the seed are some dominant characteristics of the pea plant that Mendel observed.
Dominant traits when present together with recessive traits are able to suppress their expression.
