Question

Gregor Mendel studied the inheritance pattern of several characteristics in pea plants. He observed that tall (T) plants were dominant to short (t) plants. If a heterozygous tall plant is crossed with a short plant, what percentage of the offspring will be short?

Answer 1

Answer:

Below

Explanation:

I used a punnett square to figure this out!

If you were to cross a heterozygous tall plant (Tt) with a short plant (tt), the possible resulting genotypes of the offspring would be:

50% chance of the offspring being heterozygous dominant (Tt)

50% chance of the offspring being short (tt)

Hope this helps!
