Detailed explanation-1: -During this time, Mendel observed seven different characteristics in the pea plants, and each of these characteristics had two forms (Figure 3). The characteristics included height (tall or short), pod shape (inflated or constricted), seed shape (smooth or winkled), pea color (green or yellow), and so on.
Detailed explanation-2: -The characteristics included plant height, seed texture, seed color, flower color, pea-pod size, pea-pod color, and flower position.
Detailed explanation-3: -Mendel studied the inheritance of seven different features in peas, including height, flower color, seed color, and seed shape. To do so, he first established pea lines with two different forms of a feature, such as tall vs. short height.
Detailed explanation-4: -Gregor Mendel choose pea plants to perform his experiments because they grow quickly, are easy to breed, and have a variety of traits.
Detailed explanation-5: -The correct answer is 7. Mendel selected 7 contrasting characters for his experiment.
