Question

There are two different alleles for flower color, P and p. The image shows a white sweet pea that is labeled with its two alleles for petal color.

What can you surmise from
the labeled image?

The genotype is heterozygous.

White petal color is a recessive trait.

White petal color is a dominant trait.

The phenotype is heterozygous.

Answer 1

There are two different alleles for flower color, P and p. The image shows a white sweet pea that is labeled with its two alleles for petal color.

What can you summarize from

the labeled image?

White petal color is a recessive trait.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the image shown and the explanation above, P represents a dominant gene while p represents a recessive gene, hence; the image shown shows a recessive homozygous trait. This implies that one of the parents has a recessive heterozygous trait i.e Pp X pp which gives Pp, Pp, pp and pp
