Based on the article, the color, length, and taste of peas that we eat or purchase is based on hormones and enzymes that affect the peas' development. If there is a presence of mutation, an enzyme will not be produce making the pea remain as green instead of yellow. Mutation is also the reason behind the taste of peas that are extra sweet because of the different enzyme produced. The length of peas is also based on an enzyme production. If such enzyme is not present, there is a mutation making the peas short.
