Which of the following statements about autosomal recessive traits is true?
1 answer:
Answer:
A. If neither parent expresses the trait, but the offspring does, both parents must be heterozygous for the trait.
Explanation:
If neither parents express the trait is because they are heterozygous and the dominant allele is being expressed over the recessive trait. When parents cross they have 25% of having an offspring that expresses the recessive trait, this means the offspring is a recessive homozygous. In the attached example 25% or 1/4 will have a short stem.

If there's this picture in the question, the right answer is metaphase.
A metaphase qualifies a phase of meiosis or mitosis (following prophase and preceding anaphase) during which chromosomes, or at least kinetochores, align with the equatorial plate of the spindle. At this stage, chromosomes are at their maximum condensation and karyotypes are usually established. In the first division of meiosis, the metaphase represents the phase during which meiotic analysis is usually accomplished.
