Question

In a group of muskmelon plants, some individuals have sour fruit and others have sweet fruit. in this group, the gene for the fruit taste trait has two alleles. the allele f is for sour fruit, and the allele f is for sweet fruit. a certain muskmelon plant from this group has sweet fruit. this plant has two alleles for sweet fruit. based on this information, click the blue words to correct any errors in the text. this muskmelon plant's genotype for the fruit taste trait is sweet fruit. this muskmelon plant's genotype for the fruit taste gene is ff. this muskmelon plant is homozygous for the fruit taste gene.

Answer 1

Correct option(s):

(b) This muskmelon plant's genotype for the fruit taste gene is ff.

(c) This muskmelon plant is homozygous for the fruit taste gene.

A dominant allele is one that is capable of expressing itself even in the heterozygous condition and overshadows the effect of the recessive allele. It is usually denoted by a capital letter. Recessive allele on the contrary cannot express in presence of a dominant allele and is denoted by a small letter.

In the given case the fruit with a sour taste (phenotype) can have two possible genotypes (FF and Ff). The genotype of sweet taste is ff which is a homozygous condition.  

Note: Your question is incomplete, probably your complete question is “In a group of muskmelon plants, some individuals have sour fruit and others have sweet fruit. in this group, the gene for the fruit taste trait has two alleles. the allele F is for sour fruit, and the allele f is for sweet fruit. a certain muskmelon plant from this group has sweet fruit. this plant has two alleles for sweet fruit. Choose the correct option:

(a)  this muskmelon plant's genotype for the fruit taste trait is sweet fruit.

(b) this muskmelon plant's genotype for the fruit taste gene is ff.

(c) this muskmelon plant is homozygous for the fruit taste gene.”
