Question

How is it possible for an organism to have a recessive phenotype for a trait such as white flowers

in pea plants?

Answer 1

A. The organism inherits the recessive allele from one parent

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Often, organisms will carry a dominant and a recessive allele of a gene. These organisms can be referred to as carriers of the recessive allele. For example, if a pea plant has a red flower-color allele and a white flower-color allele, then it is a carrier of the recessive white flower-color allele.
