The number of contrasting characters studied by Mendel for his experiments was:
| 1. | 14 | 2. | 4 |
| 3. | 2 | 4. | 7 |
How many true-breeding pea plant varieties did Mendel select as pairs, which were similar except in one character with contrasting traits?
| 1. | 2 | 2. | 14 |
| 3. | 6 | 4. | 4 |
Which one from those given below is the period for Mendel's hybridization experiments?
| 1. | 1840-1850 | 2. | 1857-1869 |
| 3. | 1870-1877 | 4. | 1856-1863 |
Alleles are:
1. different phenotype
2. true breeding homozygotes
3. different molecular forms of a gene
4. heterozygotes
How many pairs of contrasting characters in pea plants were studied by Mendel in his experiments?
| 1. | Five | 2. | Six |
| 3. | Eight | 4. | Seven |
Given below are two statements:
| Statement I: | Mendel studied seven pairs of contrasting traits in pea plants and proposed the Laws of Inheritance |
| Statement II: | Seven characters examined by Mendel in his experiment on pea plants were seed shape and colour, flower colour, pod shape and colour, flower position and stem height |
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
1. Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct.
2. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
3. Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.
4. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
