Question

In a flowering plants species, red flower color is dominant over white flower color. What is the genotype of any white-flowering plant resulting from this species?
A. Red and white alleles present on one chromosome
B. Red allele on one homologous chromosome and a white allele on the other chromosome
C. A red allele is present on both homologous chromosomes
D. A white allele is present on both homologous chromosomes​

Answer 1

Explanation:

C. A red allele is present on both homologous chromosomes

Homologous chromosomes are sets of similar chromosomes, with identical lengths, banding patterns, and centromere locations of genes at the same loci. There are gene copies on both chromosomes for dominance; the dominant form overrides the influence of the other recessive allele.

Further Explanation:

DNA molecules include chromosomes which can have various forms called alleles. The genotype of DNA is transcribed into mRNA and eventually converted into amino acids that are joined together by rRNA to form proteins that comprise an organism's phenotype. DNA sequence mutations form new alleles that influence the related mRNA, and therefore the encoded protein.

 Dominant homozygotes carry two copies of the dominant allele, while recessive homozygotes keep two copies of the recessive allele. Thus, homozygous individuals have chromosomes with two forms of the same gene called an allele.
