If a plant variety is true breeding for a dominant trait, then if the plant were crossed with a heterozygote, one half of the progeny would show the dominant trait, and one half would show the recessive trait. True or False?

True or False: A couple whose genotypes are both heterozygous for a trait where there is complete dominance and two alleles, can produce 4 children who are all homozygous recessive for the trait. Explain your answer.
Adi S.
In complete dominance, if the two alleles of an inherited pair differ, then one determines the organism's appearance and is called the recessive allele; the other has no noticeable effect on the organism's appearance and is called the dominant allele. Select one: True False
Jackson M.
In the following pedigrees, determine whether the trait is more likely to be due to a dominant or a recessive allele. Assume the trait is rare in the population.
