Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II)
A dominant trait is the one that shows in the F1 when two plants with contrasting forms of a character are crossed. Mendel studied seven such pairs in the garden pea.
(A) Flower color — this matches (III) Violet. Violet flowers are dominant over white.
(B) Pod shape — this matches (IV) Inflated. Inflated pods are dominant over constricted pods.
(C) Flower position — this matches (I) Axial. Axial flowers, borne in the leaf axils, are dominant over terminal flowers.
(D) Seed color — this matches (II) Yellow. Yellow seeds are dominant over green seeds.
