To determine the genotype of a tall pea plant bearing white flowers, we can perform a test cross. Here’s a step-by-step explanation of how to carry out this process: ### Step 1: Understand the Traits - **Tallness (T)** is a dominant trait, while **dwarfness (t)** is a recessive trait. - **Flower color**: Let's assume **white flowers (W)** are dominant and **purple flowers (w)** are recessive. ### Step 2: Identify the Genotype of the Tall Plant - The tall pea plant can either be homozygous (TT) or heterozygous (Tt) for the tall trait. Since it has white flowers, its genotype for flower color can be either homozygous (WW) or heterozygous (Ww). ...
