A pea plant exhibits a recessive trait. Which statement is most likely true about the plant?<\/p>\n
A. The plant is identical to its parent plant.<\/p>\n
B. The plant has different alleles for the gene that codes for the trait.<\/p>\n
C. The plant has two identical alleles for the gene that codes for the trait.<\/p>\n
D. The plant does not have the same genes for the trait as its parent plant.<\/p>\n
Answer \u2013 <\/b>C. The plant has two identical alleles for the gene that codes for the trait.<\/strong><\/p>\n The traits related to inheritance within the pea plants has been studied by Gregor Mendel and he had proposed the whose pairs included heritable elements or the genes and the specific traits. The genes can be available in various versions or the alleles and the dominant allele can hide the recessive allele and also determines the appearance of an organism. When the organism aims at making gametes, they can receive a single gene copy that can be selected randomly. Two different types of traits are depicted by plants that include dominant traits and recessive traits. The seed shapes, height of the plant and the colors of seeds are mainly determined by three major factors that can govern the assorting genes. All the three genes can depict the recessive and dominant alleles with the tall (T) which is considered to be dominant to the short (t). The overall analysis of dominant and recessive traits can thereby play an important role in depicting the characteristics and determining the appropriate colors of the pea plants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A pea plant exhibits a recessive trait.
