A. TO STUDY MENDELIAN INHERITANCE USING SEEDS OF DIFFERENT COLOUR /SIZE OF ANY PLANT
AIM:
REQUIREMENTS:
PROCEDURE
OBSERVATION
Data related to two findings is given in the table, record your findings in the same way.
CONCLUSION :
The contrasting forms in both the traits of pea seed (i.e., seed shape and seed colour) show an approximate ratio
of 3:1 . This ratio is exactly the same as obtained by Mendel for Monohybrid crosses and indicate that the
dominant and recessive forms of seed shape and seed colour exist in the ratio of 3:1 in the population of pea
seeds.
PRECAUTIONS :
1. Take a sufficiently large number of seed lot for analysis to minimise the error.
2. Observe the contrasting form of the trait carefully.

257 145 48 48 16 9.O6:3:3:1
CONCLUSION :
The ratio of yellow round : yellow wrinkled : green round : green wrinkled is approximately 9:3:3:1 , which is
exactly the same as obtained by Mendel for dihybrid cross . This indicates that the contrasting genes for seed
colour and seed shape show an independent assortment in the population of pea seeds.
PRECAUTIONS :
1. Take a sufficiently large number of seed lot for analysis to minimise the error.
2. Observe the contrasting form of the trait carefully.
