Question

1. in a group of summer squash plants, some individuals have fuzzy leaves and others have smooth leaves. in this group, the gene for the leaf texture trait has two alleles. the allele for fuzzy leaves (l) is dominant over the allele for smooth leaves (l).
2. a certain summer squash plant from this group has the homozygous genotype ll for the leaf texture gene.
3. based on this information, what is this plants phenotype for the leaf texture trait?
4. fuzzy leaves smooth leaves

Explanation:

Dominant alleles (L) express their phenotype even in heterozygous pairs, and homozygous dominant (LL) will fully show the dominant trait. The dominant trait here is fuzzy leaves.

Answer:

fuzzy leaves
