In pea plants, tall (T) is dominant and short (t) is recessive. A heterozygous tall plant is crossed with a short plant. What is the expected phenotypic ratio? all offspring will be tall 3:1 1:2:1 9:3:3:1 1:1 all offspring will be short

Step 1
When these two plants are crossed, the possible genotypes of the offspring are Tt and tt. The Tt genotype results in a tall plant because the T allele is dominant, and the tt genotype results in a short plant because it has two recessive alleles. Show more…

In peas, tall plants (T) are completely dominant over short plants (t). You cross two heterozygous pea plants Use a Punnett square to determine the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratios for the offspring. 1. What is the expected genotypic ratio of the offspring 2. What is the expected phenotypic ratio of the offspring?

A plant that is homozygous dominant for the tall trait is crossed with a plant that is heterozygous for the tall trait. What are the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratios of the offspring? Genotype—50% TT : 50% Tt; Phenotype—100% tall Genotype—50% TT : 50% Tt; Phenotype—50% tall : 50% short Genotype—75% TT : 25% Tt; Phenotype—100% tall Genotype—75% TT : 25% Tt; Phenotype—50% tall : 50% short

Use a Punnett square to predict the offspring in a cross between a dwarf pea plant (homozygous recessive) and a tall pea plant (heterozygous). What is the phenotypic ratio of the offspring? a. 1 Tall : 1 dwarf b. 1 tall : 2 dwarf c. 3 tall : 1 dwarf d. 1 dwarf : 4 tall
