The allele for short is tt

The phenotype is short and genotype is tt

Explanation:

In Mendelian Genetics, Tall is dominant so written in upper case so the allele will be TT, while the short will have recessive trait allele will be tt.

TT ( dominant tall)

tt  (recessive short)

short progeny will always have tt alleles and the phenotypic trait of shortness will appear only when the carrier is homozygous tt.

the three possible alleles for both short and tall feature are:

TT, Tt, tt

The genotype is tt and phenotype is short height. One heterozygous possibility is Tt but T being dominant so 't'will not be expressed.

Is a product of the calvin cycle that is used to form glucose phosphate amino acids or fatty acids?
irina [24]
I believe that glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) is a product of the Calvin cycle that is used to form glucose phosphate amino acids or fatty acids. 
The Calvin cycle is divided into ; carbon fixation, reduction and regeneration of the starting molecule. Energy from ATP and from the reduced coenzyme NADPH is used to remove a phosphate group from 3PGA and reduce the resulting diphosphoglycerate (DPGA) to produce the 3-carbon sugar glyceraladehyde-3-phosphate (G3P).

What does the small vacuole do?
Marina86 [1]
<span>Vacuoles are organelles present in plant cells, some animal, and some prokaryotic cells. There is a difference in size between plant and animal cells. Plant cells usually have one large vacuole while animal cells have a number of small vacuoles. If the term "small vacuoles" is used for vacuoles in animal cells, then they are involved in overcoming the foreign particles, storage of waste and during the exocytosis, and invagination of the cell membrane during engulfing the bacteria.</span>
