Mendel's Pea Traits: Identification
Gregor Mendel conducted groundbreaking experiments on pea plants (Pisum sativum) to understand the principles of heredity. He meticulously studied several distinct traits.
Traits Studied by Mendel
Mendel focused on easily observable, contrasting characteristics of pea plants. Key traits he investigated include:
- Seed shape (e.g., round vs. wrinkled)
- Cotyledon colour (e.g., yellow vs. green)
- Seed coat colour (e.g., grey vs. white)
- Pod shape (e.g., inflated vs. constricted)
- Pod colour (e.g., green vs. yellow)
- Flower position (e.g., axial vs. terminal)
- Stem height (e.g., tall vs. dwarf)
Trait Not Studied by Mendel
The trait 'Panicle length' refers to the structure of the flower cluster on the plant's stem. This specific trait was not among those Mendel chose for his foundational genetic studies in pea plants.
Therefore, 'Panicle length' was not studied by Mendel.
Correct Option: 3. Panicle length
