Correct Option(c) Starch synthesis in pea - Multiple alleles
Explanation:
In the given pairs, option (c) is wrongly matched. Starch synthesis in pea is an example of pleiotropy. A pleiotropic gene is a single gene which produces many or multiple unrelated phenotypes. Rest of the pairs are correctly matched.
Concept Enhancer The gene for starch.synthesis in pea seeds has two alleles B and b. In BB genotype, large starch grains are produced. After maturation the seeds are round. In bb homozygous condition, smaller search grains are produced and nature seeds are wrinkled. Bb heterozygotes form round seeds so that B seems to be dominant allele. However, Bb seeds have starch grains of intermediate size, showing incomplete dominance.
