ASeed texture
BLeaf shape
CStem colour
DFlower size
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Seed texture
1. The seven characteristics were plant height, seed texture, seed colour, flower colour, pea pod size, pea pod colour and flower position.
2. Seed texture, contrasting round against wrinkled, is on that list.
3. Leaf shape, stem colour and flower size are not among the seven.
4. Each of the seven had exactly two contrasting traits, which is what made them countable.
