SAQ : Mention the seven pairs of contrasting characters selected by Mendel

Question

 Mention the seven pairs of contrasting characters selected by Mendel Or, Mention four pairs of contrasting (both dominant and recessive) characters used by Mendel in his experiments.

Answer

Mendel selected seven pairs of contrasting characters in pea plants for his experiments on heredity. These are:

1. Seed shape: Round vs. Wrinkled
2. Seed color: Yellow vs. Green
3. Flower color: Purple vs. White
4. Flower position: Axial vs. Terminal
5. Pod color: Yellow vs. Green
6. Pod shape: Inflated vs. Constricted
7. Stem length: Tall vs. Dwarf

Alternatively, four pairs of contrasting characters used by Mendel in his experiments are:

1. Round seeds (dominant) vs. Wrinkled seeds (recessive)
2. Yellow seeds (dominant) vs. Green seeds (recessive)
3. Purple flowers (dominant) vs. White flowers (recessive)
4. Tall stems (dominant) vs. Dwarf stems (recessive)
