The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Complete Dominance**: - Complete dominance occurs when the dominant allele completely masks the effect of the recessive allele in a heterozygous condition. This means that in the presence of a dominant allele, the recessive allele does not contribute to the phenotype. 2. **Analyzing the Statements**: - We have four statements regarding complete dominance that we need to evaluate as true or false. 3. **Evaluating Statement 1**: - **Statement**: "Dominant trait is completely expressed in the generation." - **Evaluation**: This statement is **True**. In the F1 generation, if we cross a red flower (RR) with a white flower (rr), all offspring (Rr) will express the dominant trait, which is red color. 4. **Evaluating Statement 2**: - **Statement**: "Phenotypic and genotypic ratio are different." - **Evaluation**: This statement is **False**. In the F1 generation, all offspring have the same genotype (Rr) and the same phenotype (red color), leading to a phenotypic and genotypic ratio of 1:1. 5. **Evaluating Statement 3**: - **Statement**: "Two dominant alleles are needed to express complete dominant trait." - **Evaluation**: This statement is **False**. A single dominant allele (R) is sufficient to express the dominant trait, even in a heterozygous condition (Rr). 6. **Evaluating Statement 4**: - **Statement**: "F1 individuals have the equal traits of both parents." - **Evaluation**: This statement is **False**. The F1 individuals only exhibit the trait of the dominant parent (red color) and do not show the trait of the recessive parent (white color). 7. **Conclusion**: - After evaluating all statements, only the first statement is true. Therefore, the correct answer is that **only the first statement is true**. ### Final Answer: - The only true statement regarding complete dominance is: "Dominant trait is completely expressed in the generation." ---
