Flowers having 1. red color, 2. pink color and 3. white color.
greeen and yellow
Unless the alleles are codominate (which Mendel did not have in pea plants), one will be dominate and will be what you see (phenotype) and one will be recessive and you will not see it.
When Mendel crossed a true-breeding short plant with a true-breeding tall plant, all the offspring were tall. Which term describes the gene for tallness?
they are fine ; expected ratios might not be seen simply due to chance
Hello there, Dominant and recessive traits can be tested by reproduction. For example, if I was to grow a tall pea plant and a short pea plant that are true breeds, and if I was to cross pollinate them to form a hybrid pea plant, the new pea plant offspring would exhibit the dominant trait out of tall and short (In this case tall). When reproduction occurs, two alleles for a given gene will be introduced, and only the dominant trait will be used and exhibited by the offspring. That way, if we want to determine whether a trait is dominant, we will need to test through reproduction. Hope this helps!
homozygous means that the alleles that make up the genotype are the same, for example homozygous dominant would have two dominant alleles (RR) or homozygous recessive would have two recessive alleles (rr). the alternative would be heterozygous, where the genotype contains both a dominant and a recessive allele (Rr). so a homozygous plant would either have two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles for the seed colour. Now the way to find out whether it is homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive is to do a cross with a homozygous recessive plant and look at the seed colour (the phenotype). if the the original genotype is homozygous dominant the offspring seed colour will show the dominant seed colour becasue it will be heterozygous. But if the original plant is homozygous recessive the offspring will show the recessive phenotype.
an organism that has two different alleles for a trait is heterozygous

Two alleles for tall stems.

The traits inherited depends upon the alleles that have been passed on from the father and mother.The traits that are exhibited is called as the phenotype. Dominant allele needs only one copy to be expressed.For example in a pea plant "T" represents the tall dominant allele and "t" the short recessive allele .TT - when there are two dominant alleles the pea plant will express the tall trait. The pea plant is tall.Tt - when there is one dominant and one recessive allele the pea plant will still express the tall trait.In this case the dominant allele masks the recessive allele and the pea plant is still tall.tt - when there are two recessive alleles the pea plant will express the recessive trait and the pea plant is short.For a recessive trait to show up there should be a pair of recessive alleles.
species B will have a wider range of phenotypes
One from Male, and one from Female
