The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we need to analyze the genetics of the dwarf pea plant and the tall pea plant, taking into consideration the effects of gibberellin. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Genotypes**: - The dwarf pea plant has a genotype of **tt** (homozygous recessive). - The tall pea plant is genetically pure, meaning its genotype is **TT** (homozygous dominant). 2. **Effect of Gibberellin**: - Gibberellin treatment makes the dwarf plant appear tall, but it does not change its genetic makeup. Therefore, the genotype of the treated dwarf plant remains **tt**. 3. **Crossing the Plants**: - We cross the treated dwarf plant (**tt**) with the tall plant (**TT**). - The gametes produced by the tall plant will be **T** (since it can only produce T). - The gametes produced by the dwarf plant will be **t** (since it can only produce t). 4. **Punnett Square**: - We can set up a Punnett square to visualize the cross: ``` T | T --------------- t | Tt | Tt --------------- t | Tt | Tt ``` - From the Punnett square, we see that all offspring will have the genotype **Tt**. 5. **Phenotypic Ratio**: - Since **T** is dominant over **t**, all offspring (Tt) will exhibit the tall phenotype. - Therefore, the phenotypic ratio of the next generation will be **100% tall**. ### Final Answer: The phenotypic ratio in the next generation shall be **all tall plants** (or 100% tall). ---
