Question:
Name the Mendel’s factors and pair of contrasting traits
Name the Mendel’s factors and pair of contrasting traits
Show Hint
Mendel’s "factors" = genes; Contrasting traits (e.g., tall/dwarf) = controlled by alleles.

The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Gregor Mendel, through his experiments on pea plants, proposed the existence of "factors" that control traits. These factors are now known as genes.
- The factors (genes) Mendel referred to are inherited units that control traits.
- Alleles are the alternate forms of a gene, responsible for the pair of contrasting traits (e.g., tall vs. dwarf, round vs. wrinkled seeds).
Thus:
- Mendel’s "factors" = Genes
- Mendel’s "pair of contrasting traits" = Controlled by Alleles
- The factors (genes) Mendel referred to are inherited units that control traits.
- Alleles are the alternate forms of a gene, responsible for the pair of contrasting traits (e.g., tall vs. dwarf, round vs. wrinkled seeds).
Thus:
- Mendel’s "factors" = Genes
- Mendel’s "pair of contrasting traits" = Controlled by Alleles
