D. sex plays a role in deciding the dominance of a trait

Answer

B

Explanation

In most plants, any cross can be made in two ways, depending on which phenotype is used as male or female. For example, the two crosses. Phenotype A (Female) x Phenotype B (male, Phenotype B (female) x phenotype A (male) are reciprocal crosses. Mendel made reciprocal crosses in wich he pollinated a white flower with pollen from a purple-flowered plant and in one he did the reverse and produced th same result (all purple flowers). He concluded that it makes no difference which way the cross is made. if one pure-breeding parent is purple-flowered and the other is white flowered, all plants in the `F_(1)` have purple flowers. the purple flower colour in the `F_(1)` -generatiion is identical with that in the purple -flowred parental plants.
