When a pure bred flowered pea is crossed with a pure bred white flower pea, all the daughter plants show red flowers, this is an example of:
a) a genetic mutation
b) intermediate inheritance
c) dominant - recessive inheritance
d) a chromosome
Please explain to me why - thank you
Heredity Help???
The answer is (c)
You have a pure bred red parent (RR) which is dominant and a pure bred white (rr) which is recessive. The offspring will all be of genotype Rr since they receive one gene from each parent.
The R is dominant, so all flowers will be red.
Reply:c: dominant - recessive inheritance
The red dominant pure bread flowered pea masks out the white pea.
