Green, wrinkled pea seeds, traits Gregor Mendel studied in his heredity experiments. Wrinkled trait results from a gene mutation

---

"Gregor Mendel uncovered the basic principles of heredity by experimenting with garden pea traits such as seed color colour and seed shape texture. Wrinkled seeds are a recessive trait. Wrinkled trait is caused by a gene mutation resulting in a defective, inactive starch branching enzyme."
