Question
the table provides information about two inherited traits in plants, stem height, and flower color.
which statement about these traits is true?
short stems and white flowers are dominant traits.
stem height is dominant to flower color.
tall stems and red flowers are dominant traits.
flower color is dominant to stem height.
In genetics, dominant traits are represented by capital - letters. Here, 'T' for tall stem and 'R' for red flower are in capital letters, indicating they are dominant traits. Traits are not dominant over other traits in terms of different characteristic types (like stem height and flower color are different traits and not comparable in a dominance - over relationship in this context). Short stem ('t') and white flower ('r') are represented by lowercase letters, so they are recessive traits.
