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

A

tallness is the dominant trait

B

shortness is the dominant trait

C

tallness is the recessive trait

D

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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
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.
