Question:

A scientist crosses a homozygous red flower with a homozygous white flower. All of the resulting offspring are heterozygous with red flowers.

Assuming that flower color is controlled by a single gene, which of the following statements is most likely true?

Answer:

CORRECT (SELECTED)

The allele for red flowers is dominant to the allele for white flowers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because all of the offspring are red and none of the offspring are white, the red allele is more likely to be dominant.
