A dominant allele is denoted by a capital letter (A versus a). Since each parent provides one allele, the possible combinations are: AA, Aa, and aa. Offspring whose genotype is either AA or Aa will have the dominant trait expressed phenotypically, while aa individuals express the recessive trait.
Dad: TtBb
Mom: ttbb
You have to use distribution for dihybrid crosses. Meaning, the first allele of each trait has a equal chance of being paired with the other allele of the other trait. So for example with Dad, I will number the traits:
T(1)t(2)B(3)b(4)
To set up the possibilities from Dad, it would be 13, 14, 23, 24: TB, Tb, tB, tb. Same idea goes for Mom, except since all alleles are the same, you only need to make one column for Mom, since if you did all 4, the other 3 would just be repeats of the 1.
Cross:
tb
TB TtBb
Tb Ttbb
tB ttBb
tb ttbb
The phenotypic ratio is 1 Tall Brown: 1 Tall Blue: 1 Short Brown: 1 Short Blue
Answer: Light and Temperature
Explanation:
With more light, the photosynthesis occurs faster. In most cases the grower will try to have the photosynthesis occur as fast as possible. With a lot of light available, the temperature may go up. On darker days, a lower temperature is desired. Only with really high amounts and really low amounts, light can be influenced; respectively screening and supplemental lighting.
