A cross between a tall plant (TT) and short pea plant (tt) resulted in progeny that were all tall plants because

tallness is the dominant trait

shortness is the dominant trait

tallness is the recessive trait

height of pea plant is not governed by gene 'T' or 't'

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

In F, generation, the cross between TT and tt will result into all tall plants. Thus, tallness is the dominant trait.
Whenever two traits of a character are crossed, the `F_(1)`, plants show only one of the traits. This trait is called the dominant trait. The other trait (dwarfness in this case) that does not express itself in `F_(2)`, generation is called the recessive trait.

In a cross between a pure tall pea plant with green pod, and a pure short plant with yellow pod, how many short plants out of 16 you would expect in "F"_(2) generation?

If dwarf pea plant was treated with Gibberelic acid. It grew as tall as the pure tall pea plant. If this treated plant is crossed with a pure tall plant then the phenotypic ratio of is likely to be

All dwarf

50% dwarf 50% tall

75% tall 25% dwarf

All tall
