Question

Gregor Mendel crosses a true-breeding tall plants (TT) with a true-breeding short plant (tt). What are the predicted phenotypes for the offspring ?

a. all tall
b. all short
c. ratio of 1 tall : 1 short
d. ratio of 3 tall : 1 short

Answer 1

Answer:

a. all tall:

Explanation:

Tall plants (TT) are the more dominate trait. Use the Pundett square (I will try to recreate it as best as possible but it will not look good):

     t       t

T  Tt      Tt

T   Tt     Tt

As you can (kind of) tell, T appears on all offsprings, and as the dominate trait, it will take over 100% of the time.

The next generation (depending on who you are breeding them with), will have a different result.
