Determine the genotype of each parent plant and write them below. Use W to indicate the allele for white flowers and R to indicate the allele for red flowers.

Genotype of homozygous parent plant with white flowers:
Genotype of homozygous parent plant with red flowers:


Sagot :

Well, the question is confusing, since White is the recessive (ususally) and red being Dominant. It would be like

RR, for all red, and
WW, for all white, or perhaps rr
Answer:Red Flower RR, White flower rr/WW

Answer:

Genotype of homozygous parent with white flower: WW

Genotype of homozygous parent with red flower: RR

Explanation:

An organism that is homozygous for a particular trait has the same allele representing the trait while heterozygous individuals have different alleles representing a trait.

Since the allele for white flower color is W and that of red flower is R, homozygous parent plant with white flower will have WW as genotype while homozygous parent plant with red flowers will have RR as genotype.

The correct answer is WW for homozygous white flower parent and RR for homozygous red flower parent.
