Answer» (i) Mendel choose garden pea for his experiments because : (a) Pea plant is small and easy to grow (b) A large number of true breeding varieties of pea plant are available. (c) Short life cycle. (d) Both self and cross pollination can be made possible. (Any two) (ii) Contrasting characters : (a) Round/ Wrinkled seeds (b) Tall/ Short plants (iii) When Mendel crossed two pea plants with a pair of contrasting characters only one character appeared in all the members of F₁ progeny, the other remains hidden. On selfing F₁, the hidden characters reappeared in just 25% of the offsprings and the other 75% shared the characters expressed in F1. Mendel concluded that the character which expresses itself in F₁ and in 75% of the individuals of F₂ is dominating while the other is recessive.
