Question

in a group of cucumber plants, some individuals have bumpy fruit and others have smooth fruit. in this group, the gene for the fruit texture trait has two alleles. the allele for bumpy fruit (f) is dominant over the allele for smooth fruit (f).
a certain cucumber plant from this group has the homozygous genotype ff for the fruit texture gene.
based on this information, what is this plants phenotype for the fruit texture trait?
bumpy fruit smooth fruit

genetics vocabulary: genotype and phenotype

Explanation:

The allele for bumpy fruit (F) is dominant, meaning it masks the recessive smooth fruit allele (f) when present. The plant has a homozygous recessive genotype ff, so there is no dominant allele to express the bumpy trait, resulting in the recessive phenotype.

Answer:

smooth fruit
