A plant with genotype aabbcc is homozygous for all three genes, with two recessive alleles at each locus. Its phenotype will display the recessive traits for all three characters, since no dominant alleles are present to mask them. Key points about aabbcc
- Genotype across three loci: aa bb cc
- Each locus is homozygous recessive, so there is no possibility of dominant allele expression at any locus.
- Phenotypic outcome: recessive phenotype for all three traits.
If you’re choosing from typical true/false statements about such a genotype, the true statements would be:
- It is homozygous at all three loci (not just two).
- It will express the recessive phenotype for all three traits.
- It cannot produce gametes with dominant alleles for any of the three loci.
If you can share the exact options you’re evaluating, I can confirm which are true for genotype aabbcc.
