In a group of rose plants, some individuals have thorns and others do not. In this group, the gene for the thorns trait has two alleles. The allele for having thorns (R) is dominant over the allele for not having thorns (r).

Question

In a group of rose plants, some individuals have thorns and others do not. In this group, the gene for the thorns trait has two alleles. The allele for having thorns (R) is dominant over the allele for not having thorns (r).

The Punnett square below shows a cross between two rose plants. Consider the phenotypes of the offspring shown. Select one box that represents offspring that have thorns.

Answer 1

​In a group of rose plants, some individuals have thorns and others do not. In this group, the gene for the thorns trait has two alleles. The allele for having thorns (R) is dominant over the allele for not having thorns (r).

The Punnett square is not provided, so it is not possible to select the box representing the offspring with thorns.
