Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fact that all of the offspring were tall and axial flowered suggests that the tall and axial traits are dominant, while the short and terminal traits are recessive. Therefore, the best choice is E, which includes the recessive traits of short and terminal. Choices A and B are incorrect because incomplete dominance and codominance involve expression patterns that differ from the scenario described in the question. Choices C and D are incorrect because the question specifies that both tall and axial flowers were present in all offspring, indicating that those traits are dominant.
