In a garden, there are two types of pea plants. One type always grows tall, while the other type remains short. The tallness trait is represented by a capital letter. What is this overpowering variation of a gene called?

In pea plants, what is a variation of a specific gene responsible for flower color?
Allele

Homozygous
Chromosomes
In a garden, there are flowers of a certain species that can have either red or white petals. The gene for petal color in this species has two alleles: R (red) and r (white). A flower with one allele for red petals and one allele for white petals will have pink petals. Which of the following genotypes of this flower species are heterozygous?
Rr
RR
rr
