Which statement uses the correct terminology to describe how flower color is determined in pea plants?(1 point) Responses The flower color trait in pea plants can be dominant or recessive. The flower color trait in pea plants can be dominant or recessive. The flower color trait in pea plants is dominant. The flower color trait in pea plants is dominant. The flower color trait in pea plants has incomplete dominance. The flower color trait in pea plants has incomplete dominance. The flower color trait in plants is recessive.

Answer 1

The correct statement using the appropriate terminology to describe how flower color is determined in pea plants is:

"The flower color trait in pea plants can be dominant or recessive."

This statement is accurate because it reflects the genetic mechanism where purple flower color is dominant (requiring only one copy of the purple gene to express the trait) and white flower color is recessive (requiring two copies of the white gene to express the trait).
