To determine the genotype and phenotype of the resulting offspring from the cross between a homozygous dominant white flowering plant (WW) and a homozygous recessive yellow flowering plant (yy), we can analyze the situation.
- The homozygous dominant white flowering plant has the genotype WW and exhibits a white flower phenotype.
- The homozygous recessive yellow flowering plant has the genotype yy and exhibits a yellow flower phenotype.
When these two plants cross, the resulting offspring will inherit one allele from each parent. Therefore, the possible genotype of the offspring will be:
- From one parent (WW): W (white)
- From the other parent (yy): y (yellow)
This results in the genotype Ww for the offspring.
Phenotypically, since W (the allele for white flowers) is dominant over y (the allele for yellow flowers), the offspring (Ww) will exhibit the white flower phenotype.
Based on this information, the genotype of the offspring is Ww, and the phenotype is white flowering.
Without seeing the actual images you referred to, I would suggest looking for an image that indicates the genotype Ww and the phenotype as white flowers to match the expected result. If you provide a description or information about the images, I can help you pinpoint the correct choice.
