There are two different alleles for flower color, P and p. The image shows a white sweet pea that is labeled with its two allele
s for petal color. A white sweet pea is labeled p p.
What can you surmise from the labeled image?
A.The genotype is heterozygous.
B.White petal color is a recessive trait.
C.White petal color is a dominant trait.
D.The phenotype is heterozygous.
In Mendelian genetics, the alleles depicted in small letters are recessive traits.
Since both alleles are same and in lower case they are homozygous recessive alleles for a white coloured petal gene.
The genotype of the trait will be tt because if it is crossed either with heterozygous or homozygous P alleles it will appear as tt to have phenotypic trait of white colour.
The carrying capacity in an environment is the maximum population size of the species that the environment can sustain indefinitely, given the food, habitat, water, and other necessities available in the environment.
