Solution

The correct option is D Flower Position - Axile
Mendel studied inheritance of seven pairs of contrasting characters in pea plant. The green pod colour was dominant over yellow pod colour. The grey seed coat colour was dominant over white. Axile flower position was dominant over terminal. Tall plants were dominant over dwarf ones. To confirm the dominance, two pure breeding plants showing contrasting traits were crossed. According to law of dominance, only dominant trait was expressed in progeny. Correct answer is C.
