In a trait that follows Mendelian rules of inheritance, what is the only way an organism can have the recessive phenotype? A. By having the homozygous recessive genotype B. By being heterozygous for that genotype C. It is not possible to get the recessive phenotype in Mendelian genetics D. If one parent is homozygous recessive for that trait, any offspring are guaranteed the recessive phenotype E. By being homozygous dominant for that genotype
