Solution
The correct option is B Plants producing axial flowers and plants producing terminal flowers are obtained in the ratio of 1 : 1
With respect to flower position, axial flowers are dominant over terminal flowers in pea plants.
The genotype of the plant heterozygous for axial flowers is Aa.
The genotype of the plant bearing terminal flowers is aa.
When these plants are crossed, the resulting progeny will have plants that produce axial flowers and plants that produce terminal flowers in the ratio of 1 : 1
