The picture shows a bee as it fertilizes a homozygous dominant white flowering plant (WW). The bee fertilizes the plant by crawling along one of its flowers, causing pollen to sprinkle into the flower's pistil. The pollen is from a homozygous recessive yellow flowering plant (yy).

Which of the following describes the genotype and phenotype of the resulting offspring?

• Genotype WW

  Phenotype- white

• Genotype- Wy

  Phenotype-white

• Genotype-YW

  Phenotype-yellow

• Genotype- yy

  Phenotype-yellow

Read the passage about polydactyly:

Polydactyly is an inherited condition common in cats. It causes cats to grow extra digits, or toes, on their paws. It is dominant over the characteristic to grow the normal number of digits.

If a male cat that is heterozygous for polydactyly (Pp) mates with a female that is homozygous for polydactyly (pp), what are the possible genotypes of their generation of offspring?

• PP and pp, only

• Pp, only

• Pp and pp, only

• PP, Pp, and pp
