Assuming that flower color is controlled by a single gene, which of the following statements is most likely true? Choose 1 answer: Choose 1 answer: (Choice A) A The allele for red flowers has mutated more times than the allele for white flowers. (Choice B) B The allele for red flowers is dominant to the allele for white flowers. (Choice C) C The allele for red flowers is on a different chromosome than the allele for white flowers. (Choice D) D The allele for red flowers is recessive to the allele for white flowers.

The correct statement from the options is : ( B ) The allele for red flowers is dominant to the allele for white flowers

Dominant traits are traits that are present at the gene level of an organism and also visibly present in an organism while recessive traits are present at the gene level but not visibly present in an organism.

Since all the resulting flowers from the crossing of h0m0zygous red flower and h0m0zygous white flower are all visibly red, this simply means that the allele for red flower is the dominant trait present in the heterozygous offsprings.

Hence we can conclude that the allele for red flowers is dominant to the allele for white flowers
