Question

Which one of the Mendel traits of Pea was recessive

• A. Tall height
• B. Green pod
• C. Green seed colour
• D. Round seed.

Answer 1

The correct option is C Green seed colour

Mendel chose the contrasting pair of characters to study the genetic traits in the pea plant. Some of the traits that he took are the length of the plant, the shape of the seed, the colour of the flower, the colour of the seed coat.

The green seed colour was recessive trait and so was the dwarfess the plant.

So, the correct option is 'Green seed colour'.
