Maurice - Very easy to understand lesson on dominate, recessive, and additive! Thank you for always explaining these concepts in a much simpler way to understand for folks like me who are not science-minded. I can certainly see the point about "additive". I had never heard that term until now.

I do have a question about something you mentioned in your lesson ...

You wrote, "If I cross 'White Temptation' with 'Gentle Shepherd' and all the seedlings are white-flowered like their parents then white flower is recessive."

Why would it be recessive? I would have expected the white trait to be dominant since both parents were white flowered.
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us.
