@MissSmartiez LIFE SCIENCE!!!! Question inside...

OpenStudy (miss.rose):

A true-breeding tall pea plant with white flowers and smooth yellow seeds is crossed with a true-breeding short pea plant with red flowers and wrinkled green seeds. All the offspring are tall with red flowers and smooth yellow seeds. Using this information, check the correct boxes in the table. Trait Dominant Recessive Tall plant Short plant Red flowers White flowers Wrinkled seeds Smooth seeds Green seeds Yellow seeds

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

What can you infer about this?

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

One: You can tell that tall is the dominate trait throughout this genetic inheritance. Since all of them are tall plants.

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

Also, recessive is for the short trait, since it is overshadowed by the tall trait.

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

Now you give me some

OpenStudy (miss.rose):

Red flowers: dominant White Flowers: recessive

OpenStudy (miss.rose):

Here is the full table, that I put together:

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

How is white dominate? I see no white flowers, but red. So switch that :)

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

" All the offspring are tall with red flowers and smooth yellow seeds."

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

So, dominate factors: Red smooth seeds yellow seeds tall.

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

Now, what is recessive?

OpenStudy (miss.rose):

short while wrinkled green
