Which one of the following traits of garden pea studied by Mendel was a recessive feature?

1. Round seed shape
2. Axial flower position
3. Green seed colour
4. Green pod colour

Correct answer: Green seed colour

Solution

Green seed colour is recessive because, in Mendel’s crosses, yellow seed colour masks it in the first generation. The recessive trait appears only when both alleles are for green.
