In a field of sunflower plants, 776 plants are tall and 224 plants are short. Sunflower height follows the normal pattern of inh

eritance. Dominant traits masks recessive. Tall (T) is dominant and short (t) is recessive. What is the genotype of the short plants in the field?
A) T
B) TT
C) Tt
D) tt

Answer:

D) tt

Explanation:

Short plants must have two alleles for shortness. They are called homozygous recessive or tt.

Answer:

The correct answer would be D) tt.

Recessive traits need a homozygous condition to get expressed and to produce a particular phenotype. In contrast, dominant trait can be expressed  in homozygous as well as heterozygous condition of the alleles of a gene.

Now, shortness is a recessive trait encoded by allele "t". Hence, allele "t" must be present in the homozygous condition in order to make the plant short.

Thus, the genotype of all the short plants in the field should be tt and the genotype of the tall plants would be TT or Tt.

B=black and b=brown. A Bb guinea pig crosses with a Bb guinea pig, and four offspring are produced. All of the offspring are bla
Sladkaya [172]

If two Bb guinea pigs cross, there are four possible outcomes:

  • both pass the B: the son is BB
  • one of the pass the B and the other pass the b: the son is Bb
  • both pass the b: the son is bb

Since B (being black) is dominant, the son will be black in both BB and Bb cases. In order for a son to be brown, he must be a pure bb specimen.

So, if all of the offspring are black, it means that all four guinea pigs are either BB or Bb, which in turn means that at least one of the parents passed the B gene.
