A test cross would involve crossing a pea plant with a constricted pod (to determine its genotype) with a homozygous recessive plant (constricted pod), as this cross would reveal whether the first plant is heterozygous or homozygous dominant for the trait of pod shape.
A pea pod is a dehiscent fruit, meaning it opens up upon maturity to release its seeds.
The pod or seed vessel of a pea that is commonly used for food is called a pea pod. It is the edible outer casing that contains the peas inside.
Yes, a shell is a protective covering for an animal like a pea is for a pod.
Mendel studied seven traits: Height of the plants (stunted or normal); Flower color (purple or white); Pea color (Green or yellow); Pod color (Green or yellow); Position of flowers on stem (axial or terminal); and Pod shape (inflated or constricted).
