The document describes an experiment to study Mendelian inheritance in pea plants by analyzing seed traits. Round and wrinkled seed shapes were counted, as well as yellow and green seed colors. Both traits showed a ratio of approximately 3 dominant traits to 1 recessive trait, matching Mendel's findings. This supports that dominant and recessive forms exist in a 3:1 ratio.

EXPERIMENT 14.

AIM: To study Mendelian inheritance using seeds of different colour/size of any plant.

REQUIREMENTS
Pea seed sample, enamel tray, petri dishes, notebook, pencil/pen.

PROCEDURE
1 Take a lot of about 100 pea seeds in an enamel tray.

Separate out round and wrinkled seeds and put them in separate petridishes.
3 Note down the number of round and wrinkled seeds and calculate their approximate ratio.
