OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have no idea.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

i think more than one is correct

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Is it possible to choose more than one ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No. 1 answer.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

b

OpenStudy (abhisar):

only one is correct, i thought a is also correct but it should be Green peas had GENOTYPE yy.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

sO, Only b is correct

OpenStudy (abhisar):

u understand why ? @Teaching4freez

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yea I think that A is corect. but I don't think C is correct? So then A would only be correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yy and YY are both yellow so can't be B.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

it says YY were yellow, so its correct.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

If it had said only YY, then it was false

OpenStudy (abhisar):

A will be correct if u use the term GENOTYPE instead of PHENOTYPE, yy is a genotype

OpenStudy (abhisar):

getting my points ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, green plants do have the phenotype gg though.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh I see, phenotype - facial trait gotcha.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so B?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

green plants have genotype yy

OpenStudy (abhisar):

yes its B
