The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the following is not a correct dominant-recessive trait pair of Pisum sativum (garden pea), we need to analyze the traits and their corresponding dominant and recessive forms as identified by Gregor Mendel. Below is a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Identify the Traits First, we need to list the traits studied by Mendel in Pisum sativum: 1. Seed Shape 2. Seed Color 3. Flower Color 4. Flower Position 5. Plant Height 6. Pod Shape 7. Pod Color ### Step 2: Determine Dominant and Recessive Traits Next, we will identify the dominant and recessive traits for each category: - **Seed Shape**: - Dominant: Round - Recessive: Wrinkled - **Seed Color**: - Dominant: Yellow - Recessive: Green - **Flower Color**: - Dominant: Violet/Purple - Recessive: White - **Flower Position**: - Dominant: Axial - Recessive: Terminal - **Plant Height**: - Dominant: Tall - Recessive: Dwarf - **Pod Shape**: - Dominant: Inflated - Recessive: Constricted - **Pod Color**: - Dominant: Green - Recessive: Yellow ### Step 3: Analyze the Options Now, we will analyze the provided options to see which pair does not match the dominant-recessive relationship: 1. **Axial - Terminal Flower Position**: Correct (Axial is dominant) 2. **Tall - Dwarf Stem Height**: Correct (Tall is dominant) 3. **Yellow - Green Pod Color**: Incorrect (Green is dominant, Yellow is recessive) 4. **Round - Wrinkled Seed Shape**: Correct (Round is dominant) 5. **Full - Constricted Pod Shape**: Correct (Full is dominant) 6. **Yellow - Green Seed Color**: Incorrect (Yellow is dominant, Green is recessive) 7. **Violet - White Flower Color**: Correct (Violet is dominant) 8. **Flated - Constricted Pod Shape**: Correct (Inflated is dominant) ### Step 4: Conclusion From the analysis, the pairs that are incorrect are: - Yellow - Green Pod Color (should be Green - Yellow) - Yellow - Green Seed Color (should be Yellow - Green) However, the question asks for the pair that is not correctly matched. The first incorrect pair identified is **Yellow - Green Pod Color**, as it reverses the dominant and recessive traits. ### Final Answer **Yellow - Green Pod Color** is not a correct dominant-recessive trait pair. ---
