Q1) Mendel conducted his famous breeding experiments by working on:- (a) Drosophila (b) Escherichiacoli (c) Pisum Sativum (d) All of these
Correct option is A) Mendel performed his experiments on garden pea (Pisum sativum). Through the selective cross-breeding of common pea plants (Pisum sativum) over many generations, Mendel discovered that certain traits show up in offspring without any blending of parent characteristics. For instance, the pea flowers are either purple or white, intermediate colours do not appear in the offspring of cross-pollinated pea plants.
