Question

in a group of muskmelon plants, some individuals have sour fruit and others have sweet fruit. in this group, the gene for the fruit taste trait has two alleles. the allele f is for sour fruit, and the allele f is for sweet fruit.
a certain muskmelon plant from this group has sour fruit. this plant has two alleles for sour fruit.
based on this information, click the blue words to correct any errors in the text.
this muskmelon plants phenotype for the fruit taste gene is ff.
this muskmelon plant is heterozygous for the fruit taste gene.
this muskmelon plants genotype for the fruit taste trait is sweet fruit.

Explanation:

• Phenotype refers to the observable characteristic (sweet or sour fruit), while genotype refers to the genetic makeup (FF, Ff, or ff). So, "phenotype" should be "genotype" and "genotype" should be "phenotype".
• Heterozygous means having two different alleles (Ff), but the plant has two alleles for sour fruit (FF), so it is homozygous.

Answer:

• Change "phenotype" to "genotype".
• Change "heterozygous" to "homozygous".
• Change "genotype" to "phenotype" and "sweet fruit" to "sour fruit".
