The picture shows a bee as it fertilizes a homozygous dominant white flowering plant (WW). The bee fertilizes the plant by crawling along with 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?

Which of the following describes the genotype and phenotype of the resulting offspring?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Pollination:
Pollination, which is most frequently accomplished by an animal or the wind, is the movement of pollen from an anther (the male part) of a plant to the stigma (the female portion), eventually enabling fertilization and the formation of seeds. Animals including insects, birds, and bats, as well as water, wind, and even plants themselves, when self-pollination takes place inside a closed bloom, can act as pollinating agents. In a species, pollination frequently takes place. In both nature and plant breeding, hybrid offspring can be created when different species are pollinated.
Genotype definition:
The genotype of an organism is the particular arrangement of alleles for a particular gene. As an illustration, the genotypes for the flower-color gene in the pea plants above were red-red, red-white, and white-white. BB, Bb, and bb could be used to denote a certain gene variant.
Phenotype definition:
The term "phenotype" describes a person's observable characteristics, such as height, eye colour, and blood type. Both a person's genomic make-up (genotype) and environmental circumstances affect their phenotype.
Earwax type, height, blood type, eye colour, freckles, and hair colour are phenotypic examples in humans. A phenotype is more than just a physical characteristic. A phenotype may also include a person's behaviour.
Option A describes the genotype and phenotype of the resulting offspring.
