Question

In Gregor Mendel's study with the color or peas, which ones were dominant and which ones were recessive?

Answer 1

Answer:

The peas with the purple flowers were dominant and the peas with the white flowers were recessive.  

Explanation:

In Gregor Mendel's study, he studied pea plants with purple flowers and white flowers.  The purple flowers were dominant, and whenever the allele for a purple flower was present is was visible on the plant.  The white flowers were recessive because if an allele for a purple flower was present, then the flower was purple.  The flowers were only white if both alleles were for white flowers.
