The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Recessive Traits**: Recessive traits are characteristics that are not expressed in the presence of a dominant trait. They can only be observed when an individual has two copies of the recessive allele (homozygous). 2. **Example of Pea Plants**: In the case of pea plants, the tall plant trait (T) is dominant over the dwarf plant trait (t). Thus, a plant with at least one dominant allele (T) will exhibit the tall phenotype. 3. **Heterozygous vs. Homozygous**: When a plant is heterozygous (Tt), the dominant trait (tall) is expressed. The recessive trait (dwarf) will only be expressed if the plant is homozygous recessive (tt). 4. **Crossing Heterozygous Plants**: If we cross two heterozygous plants (Tt x Tt), the offspring can be: - TT (homozygous dominant - tall) - Tt (heterozygous - tall) - tt (homozygous recessive - dwarf) 5. **Conclusion**: The recessive trait is seen when the organism is homozygous for that trait. Therefore, the recessive trait is expressed due to the presence of homozygous alleles. ### Final Answer: The recessive trait is seen due to **homozygous traits**. ---
