C. Dominant
The trait would be heterozygous which means one dominant allele and one recessive allele but the dominant allele always over powers the recessive allele
Answer – C. If the seed shape did not have a clearly dominant form
In doing his research on inheritance, Mendel studied seven different traits in peas, namely – height, flower color, seed color, and seed shape. Actually in Mendel’s study, seed shape had a very clear dominant form; having a smooth seed was a dominant trait and having a wrinkled seed was a recessive trait. If this clear dominant form could not be established, then Mendel’s experiment would have ceased to progress. Option B is not the answer because rate of reproduction was not one of the features that Mendel studied in the research. Options A and D are not the answers because they were the actual findings of the study.
C, Both types of organisms contain exactly the same four nitrogen bases, but in different sequences and numbers.
Pea plants have 2 different variations for their genes. Ex: All of the offspring get Y for yellow plant and y for the green plant so they are all Yy. Yy is a yellow plant. yy is a green plant because of gene variations
