Pea shape in Mendelian experiments exists in two sharply distinct phenotypes; round and wrinkle; so they have……….phenotypes.
a) qualitative             
b) quantitative
c) both a and b
d) none of them

a

Explanation: they show discontinuous variations because round and wrinkle shape seeds have distinct phenotypes
