summarize steps that people can take to live a more sustainable lifestyle and what major changes should be made in their lives to live more healthfully when it comes to nutritional choices.

A true breeding swan flower plant with smooth petals is crossed with a true breeding swan flower plant with constricted petals. The offspring of this cross all have smooth petals. This indicates that

1) the offspring do not have a constricted allele in their genotype

2) smooth petals are dominant and constricted petals are recessive

3)constricted and smooth petals are not controlled by alleles

4) the F2 generation will have all smooth petals

5) constricted petals are dominant and smooth are recessive
