Question

this passage describes the leaf type trait in tomato plants: tomato leaves come in many types, including regular leaves and potato leaves. regular leaves are small and have jagged edges. potato leaves are large and have smooth edges. in a group of tomato plants, some individuals have regular leaves and others have potato leaves. in this group, the gene for the leaf type trait has two alleles. the allele l is for regular leaves, and the allele l is for potato leaves. a certain tomato plant from this group has potato leaves. this plant has two alleles for potato leaves. based on this information, click the blue words to correct any errors in the text. this tomato plants genotype for the leaf type gene is ll. this tomato plant is homozygous for the leaf type gene. this tomato plants phenotype for the leaf type trait is regular leaves.

Explanation:

The plant has two alleles for potato leaves. The allele for potato leaves is \(l\). So the genotype should be \(ll\) (homozygous). The phenotype (observable trait) should be potato leaves as the genotype codes for potato - leaf alleles.

Answer:

Click on “regular leaves” (in the last sentence) to correct it to “potato leaves”.
