Question 6
In Mendel’s seven characters, green is dominant for pod colour. What is the dominant form of seed colour?
The right answer is the one marked above.
Yellow. Green is dominant for pod colour but recessive for seed colour. The same colour behaves in opposite ways in two different characters.
Dominance belongs to the character being studied, not to the colour itself. This is worth remembering before question 2 of the chapter exercise.
