A true-breeding plant is:

1. one that is able to breed on its own
2. produced due to cross-pollination among unrelated plants
3. near homozygous and produces offspring of its own kind
4. always homozygous recessive in its genetic constitution

A tall true breeding garden pea plant is crossed with a dwarf true breeding garden pea plant. When the F1 plants were selfed, the resulting genotypes were in the ratio of:
1. 1:2:1 :: Tall heterozygous : Tall homozygous : Drawf
2. 3:1 :: Tall : Dwarf
3. 3:1:: Dwarf : Tall
4. 1:2:1:: Tall homozygous : Tall heterozygous : Dwarf

Which one of the following can be explained as the basis of Mendel's Law of dominance?
A: Out of one pair of factors, one is dominant and the other is recessive.
B: Alleles do not show any expression and both the characters appear as such in F2 generation.
C: Factors occur in pairs in normal diploid plants.
D: The discrete unit controlling a particular character is called factor.
E: The expression of only one of the parental characters is found in a monohybrid cross. 
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
1. A, C, D and E only 2. B, C and D only
