The correct Answer is:
To determine which trait is not dominant among the seven pea traits chosen by Mendel, we will analyze each of the provided options based on Mendel's findings. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Traits**: The question provides four traits to evaluate: - Flower color (purple) - Pod color (yellow) - Shape of seed (round) - Flower position (axial) 2. **Evaluate Flower Color**: - Mendel identified purple flower color as a dominant trait. Therefore, this option is not the answer. 3. **Evaluate Pod Color**: - Mendel classified yellow pod color as a recessive trait. The dominant trait for pod color was green. Hence, this option is a candidate for the answer. 4. **Evaluate Shape of Seed**: - The shape of the seed being round was considered a dominant trait, while the wrinkled shape was recessive. Thus, this option is also not the answer. 5. **Evaluate Flower Position**: - The axial position of the flower was recognized as a dominant trait, while the terminal position was recessive. Therefore, this option is not the answer. 6. **Conclusion**: - After evaluating all options, the trait that is not dominant among the seven pea traits chosen by Mendel is **pod color yellow**. ### Final Answer: Pod color yellow is not a dominant trait among the seven pea traits chosen by Mendel. ---
