If a corn plant was heterozygous for kernel color and seed shape, what would be the genotype of the plant?
Group of answer choices

PpSs

PPSs

PS

Ps

Purple smooth

Yellow wrinkled

Purple wrinkled

Yellow smooth

The genotype of the plant will be PpSs and the phenotype will be purple colour and smooth shaped.

Explanation:

Considering the description in the question, we know that purple colour is dominant over the yellow colour and smooth shape is dominant over the wrinkled shape.

A homozygous trait can be described as a trait which arises due to the same alleles of a gene. A heterozygous trait arises when both the alleles of a gene are different. In such a case, one allele will be dominant over the other one and the phenotype of the dominant allele will be seen in the plant. As purple colour and smooth shape are dominant traits, hence they will be seen in the heterozygous plant.

you didn't give any options but heres what i can tell you: an inference is likely to change based on additional observations. the latter is something that you have seen or sensed using your sensory organs while the former is like a conclusion out from what you have observed.
