A nectarine is a peach without the fuzz. The difference is controlledby a single gene that is found in two alleles, D and d. At themolecular level, does it make more sense to you that the nectarineis homozygous for the recessive allele or that the peach is homozygousfor the recessive allele? Explain your reasoning.
