The genotype of an organism is the set of genes it possesses. All of an organism's observable traits make up its phenotype.

The statement given is False, the genotype is TT.

<h3>What is a plant's phenotype based on its genotype?</h3>

The genotype of an organism is the particular combination of alleles for a given gene.

As an example, the flower-color gene genotypes for the pea plants above were red-white, white-white, and red-red.

The physical manifestation of an organism's allelic combination is called phenotype (genotype).

Because T is dominant while T is recessive, if a plant has the phenotype of the dominant trait of having thorns, it will have TT.

As a result, the answer is false. TT should be the genotype.
