A gardener harvested 3,697 seeds from cross breeding a pure line red-flower petunia and pure line white-flower petunia. Then, he planted the harvested seeds in a 25x25 m plot. He was shocked that all of his planted petunias produced red flowers. Why? A. The red flower petunia is a dominant trait. B. The red flower petunia is a recessive trait. C. The white flower petunia is a dominant trait. D. The white flower petunia has a heterozygous genotype in flower color.
