Solution

In the study of genetics, particularly in the context of Gregor Mendel's experiments with pea plants, contrasting traits refer to the different forms a gene can have. These are also known as alleles.

a. If the position of the flower is terminal (at the end of the stem), the contrasting trait would be axial. This means the flowers are located at the junction of the stem and branches.

b. If the flower is white in color, the contrasting trait would be purple. Mendel found that pea plants could have either white or purple flowers.

c. If the shape of the pod is constricted, the contrasting trait would be inflated. This refers to whether the pea pod appears pinched or full and round.
