I think it would be that both parents had an allele for pink flower color because the trait could either be dominant or recessive but the question doesn't say.

Answer:

Your answer would be C : Both parents had an allele for pink flower color.

Step-by-step explanation:

When both parents provide the same allele of a gene, the offspring is h o m o z y g o u s for that trait. In this situation, C would be correct because the information states that the plant is h o m o z y g o u s and choice C fits.

I spaced out a word since it was apparently inappropriate.

Also, Option C is correct on Edg.
