The answer is b.) two recessive alleles.

Explanation: if there is a dominate allele and a recessive it is going to show the dominate 100% of the time. The only time a recessive trait is going to show is if there is not a dominate present and it is just 2 recessive traits.
Hope this helps!

the answer is B since the dominant trait would over power the recessive trait won’t show in the pea plant unless it has two recessive
