A plant with purple flowers is allowed to self-pollinate. Generation after generation, it produces purple flowers. This is an example of a. hybridization. b. incomplete dominance. c. true-breeding. d. the law of segregation. e. polygenetics.

Respuesta :

Answer:

c

Explanation:

A true breeding: it  is a kind of breeding in which the parents would produce offspring that all the offspring  would contain the same phenotype.

This means that the parents are homozygous for each trait. So their all the offspring will be same as the parent.

So here a plant with purple flowers is allowed to self-pollinate, as generation after generation it produces purple flower, it means that it must be homozygous for purple color.

Self-pollination is defined as the transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma of the same flower or genetically identical flower. Self-pollination leads to independent true-breeding lines.

The correct answer is:

Option C. True-Breeding

True-breeding is defined as the type of breeding wherein the parents will reproduce to form offspring having a similar phenotype.

True-breeding in genetics means that genetically identical parents when reproducing will have offspring identical to the parental genotype or phenotype.

For instance, the plants with purple flowers when allowed to self-pollinate, it gives the offspring with purple flowers generations after generations. Thus, it means that parents can have purebred genotypes.

Therefore, option C is correct.
