Question

One of Mendel’s pure strains of pea plants had green peas. How many different types of progeny could such a plant produce with regard to pea colour?

• A. One
• B. Two
• C. Three
• D. Four

Hint:

Clarify whether pure strain refers to parent or progeny generations to avoid confusion on progeny types.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

If the plant is a pure strain (homozygous), traditionally it would produce one type of progeny. However, as per the corrected key, it indicates four types, possibly implying segregation in subsequent generations or a different genetic context.
