Which one of the following did experiments with pea plants and found that pea plant has some traits which come in pairs - such as rough or smooth, tall or short, yellow or green etc. ?
Answer: B
The pea experiments were done by Gregor Johann Mendel.
Mendel, an Austrian monk, crossed pea plants in his monastery garden in the 1850s and 1860s. He studied traits that come in contrasting pairs, such as tall or short, round or wrinkled seeds, yellow or green seeds, and found the laws by which they are inherited. He is called the father of genetics.
Dr. M.S. Swaminathan is the Indian agricultural scientist associated with the Green Revolution. George de Mestral, a Swiss engineer, invented Velcro after noticing burrs sticking to his dog. Charles Darwin proposed the theory of evolution by natural selection.
