one of two or more possible forms of a gene that are found at the same place on a chromosome
किसी जीन के एक या अधिक संभावित रूप जो क्रोमोसोम में एक ही स्थान पर पाए जाते हैं
Explanation:
Peas had been shown to be true-breeding (all offspring will have the same characteristic generation after generation).
Peas exhibit a variety of contrasting traits (purple vs. white flowers; round vs. wrinkled seeds).
The shape of the pea flower protected it from foreign pollen. Peas usually reproduce by self-pollination, in which pollen produced by a flower fertilizes eggs in the same flower.
Pea plants grow quickly and do not require much space.
The traits that Mendel studied are listed below:
Form of ripe seed (R) – smooth or wrinkled
Color of seed albumen (Y) – yellow or green
Color of flower (P) – purple or white
Form of ripe pods (I) – inflated or constricted
Color of unripe pods (G) – green or yellow
Position of flowers (A) – axial or terminal
Length of stem (T) – tall or dwarf
