Question

This passage describes the flower position trait in pea plants:Flowers can grow in different positions on a pea plant's stem. Axial flowers arein the middle of the plant's stem. Terminal flowers are at the tip of the stem.In a group of pea plants, some individuals have axial flowers and others have terminalflowers. In this group, the gene for the flower position trait has two alleles. The allele F is foraxial flowers, and the allele f is for terminal flowers.A certain pea plant from this group has axial flowers. This plant has one allele for axialflowers and one allele for terminal flowers.Based on this information, what is this pea plant's genotype for the flower position gene?axial flowersFfffterminal flowers

Answer 1

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Axial flowers are in the middle of the plant's stem.

Terminal flowers are at the tip of the plant's stem.

The alleles that code for the trait "position of the flower" are F: axial flowers, and, f: terminal flowers.

A pea plant has axial flowers (Phenotype of the plant)

You know that it has one allele for axial flowers, F, and one allele for terminal flowers, f.

→ The genotype of the plant is then Ff (heterozygous)
