The correct Answer is:
To determine which trait is dominant among the options provided, we can analyze the traits Mendel studied in his pea plants. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Traits**: The traits mentioned in the question are: - Pod color (yellow) - Seed color (white) - Flower position (axial) - Plant height (dwarf) 2. **Recall Mendel's Findings**: Mendel identified dominant and recessive traits in his experiments with garden peas. The dominant traits he found for the relevant characters are: - Pod color: Green (dominant) and Yellow (recessive) - Seed color: Yellow (dominant) and Green (recessive) - Flower position: Axial (dominant) and Terminal (recessive) - Plant height: Tall (dominant) and Dwarf (recessive) 3. **Analyze Each Option**: - **Pod color yellow**: Yellow is a recessive trait. (Incorrect) - **Seed color white**: White is not a trait Mendel studied; he studied yellow and green. (Incorrect) - **Flower position axial**: Axial is a dominant trait. (Correct) - **Plant height dwarf**: Dwarf is a recessive trait. (Incorrect) 4. **Conclusion**: Among the options provided, the dominant trait is **flower position axial**. ### Final Answer: **The dominant trait among the options is flower position axial.** ---
