This passage describes the pod shape trait in pea plants:
Pea plants protect their seeds in pouch-like cases called pods. Some pea plants grow inflated pods, which are smooth. Other pea plants grow constricted pods, which are bumpy.
In a group of pea plants, some individuals have inflated pods and others have constricted pods. In this group, the gene for the pod shape trait has two alleles. The allele for inflated pods (D) is dominant over the allele for constricted pods (d).
A certain pea plant from this group has the homozygous genotype DD for the pod shape gene.
Based on this information, what is this plant's phenotype for the pod shape trait?
