Q. Which one of the following traits of garden pea studied by Mendel was a recessive feature ?

Rajasthan PMTRajasthan PMT 2007

Solution:

When a pair of contrasting characters are crossed with each together then $F_1$ generation has only one type of character. This expressed character is known as dominant character while the character which could not express in $F_1$ generation is known as recessive character. In pea plants, tallness, round seed, yellow seed, purple flower, green pod, inflated pod and axial flower are dominant over dwarfness, wrinkled seed, green seed, white flower, yellow pod, constricted pod and terminal flower respectively.
