Question

For each set of genotypes, give the phenotype that is possible for Patrick. Pink body color (P) is dominant to yellow (p). 1- Pp or PP = ______________ 2-pp = ______________ Question 4 options: Blank # 1 Blank # 2

Answer 1

Answer:

1) Pp or PP → pink phenotype

2) pp → yellow phenotype

Explanation:

A dominant phenotype can be described as the physical trait which occurs due to the influence of the dominant allele. A dominant allele can be described as the allele which masks the effect of the recessive allele. The dominant allele is represented by a capital letter. Hence, the genotype showing PP or Pp will have a pink body colour as it is the dominant trait.

A recessive trait is written with a small letter, hence pp will have the recessive phenotype which is yellow.
