Hi!


The answer would be: Dominant


<h3>Explanation</h3>

A cross between a true breeding short plant (homozygous for short, suppose tt), and a cross between a true breeding tall plant (homozygous for tallness, suppose TT) would result in all the offspring being heterozygous for the traits, meaning they would each have an allele of shortness (t) and an allele of tallness (T).

Considering the offspring were all tall, we understand that the allele for tallness must have been dominant over the allele for shortness to present itself over it. Hence, the term describing the gene for tallness would be dominant, and the term describing the gene for shortness would be recessive.


Hope this helps!

If a cell is placed inside a solution that has a higher concentration of solute than on the inside of the cell, what can be said
ankoles [38]
Remember the definition of Osmosis; Water travels through a semipermeable membrane to an area of higher to lower concentration. Since the concentration of a solute is higher outside, we can make the assumption that water concentration is lower, and so the cell is going to release water to balance out and equalize the solution and it's surroundings.
