Answer: The genotype is homozygous and white petal color is a recessive trait
Explanation:
The only way for a recessive trait to be present in the phenotype is if the genotype is homozygous homo meaning same ex. pp or PP heterozygous hetero meaning different ex. Pp
There are two different alleles for flower color, P and p. The image shows a white sweet pea that is labeled with its two alleles for petal color.
What can you summarize from
the labeled image?
<em>White petal color is a recessive trait.
</em>
<em></em>
Explanation:
From the image shown and the explanation above, P represents a dominant gene while p represents a recessive gene, hence; the image shown shows a recessive homozygous trait. This implies that one of the parents has a recessive heterozygous trait i.e Pp X pp which gives Pp, Pp, pp and pp
