Question

this passage describes the flower position trait in pea plants; flowers can grow in different positions on a pea plants stem. axial flowers are in the middle of the plants stem. terminal flowers are at the tip of the stem. in a group of pea plants, some individuals have axial flowers and others have terminal flowers. in this group, the gene for the flower position trait has two alleles. the allele f is for axial flowers, and the allele f is for terminal flowers. a certain pea plant from this group has axial flowers. this plant has two alleles for axial flowers. based on this information, click the blue words to correct any errors in the text. this pea plant is heterozygous for the flower position gene. this pea plants phenotype for the flower position trait is axial flowers. this pea plants phenotype for the flower position gene is ff.

Explanation:

1. Since the plant has two alleles for axial flowers (FF), it is homozygous, not heterozygous.
2. The phenotype is the observable trait, which is axial flowers for this plant, so this statement is correct.
3. FF is the genotype, not the phenotype. The phenotype is the physical appearance (axial flowers).

Answer:

1. Change "heterozygous" to "homozygous".
2. No change.
3. Change "phenotype" to "genotype".
