Respuesta :

B. White petal colour is a recessive trait.

Explanation:

In Mendelian genetics, the alleles depicted in small letters are recessive traits.

Since both alleles are same and in lower case they are homozygous recessive alleles for a white coloured petal gene.

The genotype of the trait will be tt because if it is crossed either with heterozygous or homozygous P alleles it will appear as tt to have phenotypic trait of white colour.

So the genotype will be tt.
