So inspired by mendel, you visit a local greenhouse and see what a pea plant looks like in person.
00:11
You spot a long plant in a corner and immediately notice that it exhibits a tall trait of a stem length character.
00:18
This character is controlled by one gene with two alleles.
00:22
Now we know that there are two alleles.
00:24
One is capital t.
00:25
It's a dominant, tall, and recessive dwarf, lower t.
00:30
So we know there are two alleles and we know that tall is dominant to dwarf.
00:52
So now what we know about this plant after we observe the long plant with a tall trait, check all that apply.
01:02
So first of all, what we know is you know the phenotype of the plant.
01:09
The phenotype refer to the trait, observable trait itself.
01:21
So in this case, the phenotype is going to be tall.
01:25
So this is a trait that can be observed.
01:30
Second, do we know about the genotype? now we actually do not know the exact genotype because for a tall plant, you can have two possible genotypes.
01:42
We know that tall is the dominant trait.
01:45
So it can either be homozygous capital t, which is a tall plant, or heterozygous.
01:52
It has one capital t allele, but it's dominant.
01:58
So it's also show tall trait, but we do not know whether it's homozygous or heterozygous.
02:06
But what we know is that since it's a tall plant, it has at least one capital t.
02:13
So we can know that the plant has at least one copy of capital t.
02:30
So we check two out of the four.
02:36
The number two, that this plant has at least one copy of the t allele.
02:40
And also we check you know the phenotype of the plant.
02:44
So this is the first question.
02:48
The second question, in another corner of the greenhouse, you find another pea plant.
02:53
This plant, however, exhibit the dwarf trait of the stemless...
