A Correct answer
Explanation

Mendel's seven traits were: flower color, flower position, stem height, pod shape, pod color, seed shape, and seed color. Categorizing these: flower (2), pod (2), and seed (2), with stem height as the remaining one.

C Correct answer
Explanation

The colour based contrasting traits studied by Mender in pea plant were pod colour,  i.e., green (dominant) and yellow (recessive), flower colour, i.e., violet (dominant) and white (recessive) and seed colour, i.e., yellow (dominant) and green (recessive).

Name the scientist who converted Mendel's conclusions into principles of heredity

  1. De Vries

  2. Tschermak-seysenegg

  3. Carl Correns

  4. T. H. Morgan
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Carl Erich Correns was a German botanist and geneticist, who is notable primarily for his independent discovery of the principles of heredity, and for his rediscovery of Gregor Mendel's earlier paper on that subject, which he achieved simultaneously but independently of the botanists Erich Tschermak von Seysenegg. He also converted Mendel’s conclusions into principles of heredity.

So, the conclusion is ‘Carl correns’.

Tschermak-Seysenegg, a rediscoverer of Mendel's work belonged to

  1. USA

  2. Spain

  3. Austria

  4. Australia
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Erich Tschermak was an Austrian agronomist who developed several new disease-resistant crops, including wheat-rye and oat hybrids. He independently rediscovered Gregor Mendel's work on genetics. He was a plant breeder, and his hybridization experiments were done with the idea of improving crops using the laws of heredity.

So, the correct option is ‘Austria’.

  4. England.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Hugo de Vries, Holland botanist and geneticist, is the author of the mutation theory of evolution. His work led to the rediscovery and establishment of Mendel's laws. He made his first notable contributions to science in the 1880s in the field of plant physiology.

So, the correct option is ‘Holland’.
