Which term describes a plant that has one recessive allele but does not show the recessive characteristic?

  1. A true-breeding plant
  2. A carrierRespuesta correcta
  3. A plant showing the recessive characteristic
  4. A plant with two recessive alleles

Explicación

This is exactly the situation the word names: the recessive allele is present but hidden by a dominant one, so it can be handed on without ever being seen. A plant with two recessive alleles would display the characteristic, which is what this plant does not do.
