Question

A genotype can be heterozygous or homozygous. Homozygous indicates that the gene contains two copies of the same allele. You are going to do a monohybrid cross between two flowers. One flower is white, the other flower is red. What is the genotype of the white flower? Quiz notes: Capital letters indicate dominance and lower case letters indicate recessive alleles. Alleles will be indicated by R and r. Red is the dominant flower color White is the recessive flower color ________

Answer 1

Answer: rr white flower

Explanation:

RR represent Red flower (homozygous dominant)

rr represents white flower (homozygous recessive)

Homozygous means the allele of the genotype is the same

Heterozygous means the allele of the genotype are different

A recessive trait-is a traits that doesn't express itself and its effect is mask by the effect of a dominant allele.

A dominant trait expresses itself in the phenotype of the individual.

rr is homozygous recessive whose phenotype is white flower.
