The name of the scientist who did experiments with the pea plant and on the basis of observation concluded that the pea plants have some traits which come in pairs; such as tall or short, yellow or green, rough or smooth, etc. is Correct Answer <span style="">Gregor Mendel</span>

Explanation:

About Gregor Mendel:

  • Gregor Mendel, a 19th-century Augustinian monk.
  • He was born in a poor farmer’s family in Austria in 1822.
  • He is called the father of modern genetics.
  • He found that the pea plant has some traits which come in pairs (called an allele).
  • Mendel's pea plant experiments conducted between 1856 and 1863 established many of the fundamental laws of heredity.
  • It is now referred to as the laws of Mendelian inheritance.

Gregor Johann Mendels Theory:

  • Mendel used a number of contrasting visible characters of garden peas- round/wrinkled seeds, tall/short plants, white/violet flowers, and so on.
  • He took pea plants with different characteristics- a tall plant and a short plant, produced progeny from them and calculated the percentages of tall or short progeny.

Additional Information

Darwin Theory: 

  • Darwin gave the theory of natural selection.
  • Each species reproduces to maintain its race.
  • The species struggle for survival with changing environmental conditions.
  • The species adapts with the surroundings survives and rest extinctions. 

MS Swaminathan:

  • He was a geneticist.
  • He is remembered as he had introduced a high-yielding variety of wheat.
  • Book "The Quest for a World Without Hunger" was released by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on MS Swaminathan.
