Question

Suppose the two possible alleles for the height gene are tall and short. If short is recessive to tall, provide the symbol representation and the phenotype for each of the genotype for this trait.

Answer 1

Answer:

The possible symbol representation and phenotypes will be :

Homozygous dominant:  TT, the phenotype will be tall height.

Heterozygous: Tt, The phenotype will be tall height.

Homozygous recessive: tt, the phenotype will be short height.

Genotype can be described as the genetic makeup of an organism which occurs due to the different alleles present in an organism. The phenotype can be described as the physical appearance of traits in an organism.
