Tall or short and round or wrinkled seeds in peas are inherited:
AInvariably
BIndependently
CInseparably
DIdentically
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Independently
1. Crossing tall round-seeded plants with short wrinkled-seeded ones gives new combinations in F2.
2. Some F2 plants are tall with wrinkled seeds and some short with round seeds.
3. So the two traits are independently inherited.
