Vedclass · Answer

(D) The colour of the flower in pea is always linked with the seed coat. In Mendel's experiments,plants with purple flowers have grey or brown seed coats,while plants with white flowers have white seed coats. This is due to the pleiotropic effect of the gene controlling flower colour,which also influences the pigmentation of the seed coat and leaf axils.
