The correct answer is option C

Gregor Mendel was the one who discovered that the traits have two forms, one is dominant and other one is recessive.

While performing the experiments with the pea plants he came to know about the traits. Every trait has two forms.

The dominant form of trait is visible in the First generation (F1) and the recessive trait is visible in the second generation (F2).

Example: Shape of seed : round (dominant) and wrinkled (recessive)
