In pea plants, the allele for round peas, R, is dominant over the allele for wrinkled peas, r. What is the phenotype of a pea plant with genotype Rr? "Make a punnet square for help" (1 point)

Question

In pea plants, the allele for round peas, R, is dominant over the allele for wrinkled peas, r. What is the phenotype of a pea plant with genotype Rr? "Make a punnet square for help" (1 point)

some round and some wrinkled

slightly wrinkled

round

wrinkled

Answer 1

The phenotype of a pea plant with genotype Rr would be round.

To create a Punnett square, we can use the following diagram:

| R | r |
-----------------
R | RR | Rr |
-----------------
r | Rr | rr |

From the diagram, we can see that there are two possible genotypes for plants with genotype Rr: RR and Rr. However, in both cases, the dominant allele R is present, resulting in a round pea phenotype.
