Question

What was the type of pea lines used by Mendel?

(a) True-breeding

(b) False-breeding

(c) Not breeding

(d) Indefinitely breeding

The question was asked by my college director while I was bunking the class.

My doubt is from Mendel’s Laws of Inheritance-2 in section Principles of Inheritance and Variation of Biology – Class 12

Answer 1

Right answer is (a) True-breeding

The explanation: True-breeding pea lines were used by Mendel to study the processes. These are plants that are homozygous, hence have two copies of the same alleles.
