homozygous means that the alleles that make up the genotype are the same, for example homozygous dominant would have two dominant alleles (RR) or homozygous recessive would have two recessive alleles (rr).

the alternative would be heterozygous, where the genotype contains both a dominant and a recessive allele (Rr).

so a homozygous plant would either have two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles for the seed colour.

Now the way to find out whether it is homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive is to do a cross with a homozygous recessive plant and look at the seed colour (the phenotype). if the the original genotype is homozygous dominant the offspring seed colour will show the dominant seed colour becasue it will be heterozygous. But if the original plant is homozygous recessive the offspring will show the recessive phenotype.

If a plant has an allele for red flower color and an allele for white flower color then that individual plant is for flower color?

Incomplete dominance which makes intermediate phenotypes.


A purple-flowered plant that carries two different color traits such as purple and white is?

A heterozygous purple-flowered plant. This plant carries two different alleles for flower color – one for purple and one for white. When these two alleles are present together in a heterozygous individual, the dominant allele (purple) will typically be expressed.


When a purebred plant with red flowers is crossed with a purebred plant that has white flowers what will be the expected result assuming that flower color in this plant is a co dominant trait?

That depends on which color is dominant. If red is dominant, then F1 will all be red heterozygous. If orange is dominant, then same applies.


One example of a trait passed from a parent plant to it's offspring is?

Flower color is an example of a trait that can be passed from a parent plant to its offspring. If a plant with red flowers is crossed with another plant with red flowers, their offspring are likely to also have red flowers due to the genetic inheritance of the trait for red flower color.


Is the plant with flowers homozygous or Heterozygous?

Either. It matters. Since white is dominant, the allele (saying it is T for white and t for purple) could be either TT or Tt and still come out white. If the white flower is a purebred, then it is homozygous, therefore, TT. However, the flower could be white and be heterozygous.

How do you get different flowers on moshi monsters?

Which ever seed you plant will be what the flower will be. However, the flower's color is random. If you do not get the flower color that you need, you have to dig up that flower and plant another seed.


How do you get a certain flower color in Moshi Monsters?

To get the flower color you need to attract a moshling, you plant the seeds needed to attract the moshling, then wait for the flowers to grow to see what color you get. The color of the flower is random. If you do not get the flower color you need to attract a moshling, you have to dig up that plant and plant another seed. Keep planting seeds until you get the flower color you need.

A white flower plantis is crossed with a plant that is heterozygous for the trait what percentage of the flower will be purple flowers?

How do you get certain colors of seeds on your moshling garden on Moshi Monsters?

The flower color is random. There is no way to get a specific seed color. Plant the seeds, wait for the flower to grow, and if it is not the color you need, dig it up and plant another seed. Keep trying until you get the flower color that you need.


How do you get a blue moshling seed on Moshi Monsters?

The color of the seed is random, meaning you can not get a specific color. When the seed grows into a flower, if it is not the color you need, you will have to dig the plant up and plant another seed. Wait to see if that seed grows into the color of flower you need. Repeat until you get the color of flower you need.

How can you tell which color your love berry flower is going to be on Moshi Monsters?

Flower colors are random on Moshi Monsters. You will not know the color of any flower until it blooms. If you do not get the color you need, you have to dig up that flower and plant another seed.
