The correct Answer is:
To determine which plant exhibits complete dominance, we need to analyze each option based on the principles of inheritance. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Complete Dominance**: - Complete dominance occurs when the dominant allele completely masks the effect of the recessive allele in a heterozygous individual. This means that only the dominant phenotype is expressed when at least one dominant allele is present. 2. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Option (a) Mirabilis jalapa**: - This plant exhibits incomplete dominance, where the phenotype of the heterozygote is an intermediate between the two homozygous phenotypes. Thus, it does not show complete dominance. - **Option (b) Oenothera lamarckiana**: - This plant does not exhibit complete dominance either. It shows a different inheritance pattern that does not conform to the typical 3:1 ratio associated with complete dominance. - **Option (c) Pisum sativum**: - The pea plant, studied extensively by Gregor Mendel, is a classic example of complete dominance. Mendel observed that when he crossed different varieties of pea plants, the dominant traits completely masked the recessive traits in the offspring, resulting in a 3:1 phenotypic ratio in the F2 generation. - **Option (d) Lathyrus odoratus**: - Similar to Mirabilis jalapa, Lathyrus odoratus also exhibits incomplete dominance, where the heterozygous phenotype is a blend of the two homozygous phenotypes. 3. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, the correct answer is **(c) Pisum sativum** as it is the only plant among the options that exhibits complete dominance. ### Final Answer: (c) Pisum sativum
