In the case of starch synthesis in pea seeds [controlled by the B gene], BB homozygotes produce large and round starch grains; bb homozygotes produce smaller and wrinkled starch grains and heterozygotes produce round seeds of intermediate size. What can be inferred from this observation?

1. The gene B mutates at a faster rate
2. The gene B is easily influenced by the environment
3. Dominance is not an autonomous feature of a gene or the product that it has information for.
4. Some genes do not follow the law of segregation.
