which is the genotype of the sweet pea?
heterozygous dominant
heterozygous recessive
homozygous dominant
homozygous recessive

Explanation:

To determine the genotype type:

• Heterozygous has two different alleles (e.g., \(Pp\)), while homozygous has two identical alleles (e.g., \(PP\) or \(pp\)).
• Dominant alleles are represented by uppercase letters (\(P\)), recessive by lowercase (\(p\)).

The genotype here is \(PP\) (two identical dominant alleles), so it is homozygous dominant.

Answer:

C. homozygous dominant
