Question

Choose all the answers that apply.

In some flower species, pink flowers are recessive and yellow flowers are dominant. A pink flower:
has two recessive genes
has one dominant and one recessive gene
has two equally dominant color genes
has a phenotype of pp
has the same genotype as a yellow flower

Answer 1

The correct answer is 'has two recessive genes'. Since pink flowers are recessive, a pink flower must have two recessive genes in order for it to be pink. If there is even one dominant gene, the flower will be yellow. It is also true that the flower will have a phenotype of pp, since both genes are recessive and must be lowercase. Sorry; I didn't read the question carefully enough. : )

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

A and D are the correct answers.

Step-by-step explanation:

A recessive gene can be defined as the one that can be masked by a dominant. In this case, the dominant gene causes the pink color.

The phenotype refers to the characteristics that can be seen by people, for example the shape, the color, among other things.

Due to this, options A and D are the answers.
