Tallness in pea plants as identified by Mendel, represents which type of trait?
Dominant traits
Tallness in pea plants, as identified by Mendel in his experiments, represents a dominant trait, expressed even when only one copy of the allele is present.
Acquired traits, recessive traits and hidden traits describe different genetic concepts, not the dominant nature of tallness in Mendel's experiments.
Hence, 'Dominant traits' is the correct answer.
