Question 2 options:


recessive


homozygous


dominant.


chromosomal

Answer 1

If there are two answers it is dominant and recessive

For example, the allele for Round seed (R) dominant over wrinkle seed (r) in pea plant. Therefore, a pea plant having (Rr) genotype will have round seeded pea plant
