In Mendel's monohybrid cross between tall and short pea plants, all offsprings were tall. What does this tell us about the trait? What is the ratio of tall and short plants in the `F_(2)` generation?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The appearance of all tall plants in the `F_(1)` generation shows that tall is the dominant character while short is the recessive character.

The ratio of Tall to Short in `F_(2)` generation is `3:1`.

In a monohybrid cross between tall pea plants (TT) and short pea plants (tt) a scientist obtained only tall pea plants (Tt) in the F_(1) generation.
