Predict the genotypic and phenotypic outcome (offspring) of a cross between two heterozygous tall pea plants?
1 answer:
The genotype of the cross is 1 : 2 : 1 ( TT : Tt : tt )
The phenotype of the cross is 3 : 1 ( Tall : Dwarf )
<u>Explanation:</u>
Given:
Cross between two heterozygous tall pea plant
Let the allele of a tall pea plant be represented by T and for dwarf be t
In heterozygous condition, the genotype would be Tt
Cross between Tt X Tt is shown in the diagram inserted.
According to the cross performed:
The genotype of the cross is 1 : 2 : 1 ( TT : Tt : tt )
The phenotype of the cross is 3 : 1 ( Tall : Dwarf )
