A pea plant exhibits a recessive trait. Which statement is most likely true about the plant? The plant is identical to its parent plant. The plant has different alleles for the gene that codes for the trait. The plant has two identical alleles for the gene that codes for the trait. The plant does not have the same genes for the trait as its parent plant.

the statement that is most likely true about the plant is : the plant has two identical alleles for the gene that codes for the trait. For example, if a plant has a recessive tt allele for short, the chance of its offspring to be born short is really small. Because if it paired with dominant tall Allele T, the offspring will have the characteristic of tall plant
