How many pairs of contrasting characters in pea pod were chosen by Mendel?
3
5
7
9
A.
3
The number of characters studied by Mendel was seven which are present on four chromosomes.
Characters | Dominant | Recessive |
Stem height | Tall | Dwarf |
Flower colour | Violet | White |
Pod position | Axial | Terminal |
Pod shape | Inflated | Constricted |
Pod colour | Green | Yellow |
Seed shape | Round | Wrinkled |
Seed colour | Yellow | Green |
Three contrasting characters with respect to pea pod are (i) pod shape, (ii) pod colour, (iii) pod position.
If a cross between two individuals produces offsprings with 50% dominant character (A) and 50% recessive character (a) the genotype of parents are
Aa Aa
Aa aa
AA aa
AA Aa
