Question

Hom-ozygous tall pea plants look the same as heterozygous tall pea plants. Formulate a pollination experiment to identify whether a tall pea plant is hom-ozygous or heterozygous. Explain your answer in 3-5 sentences.

Answer 1

You can cross the plant with hom-ozygote and then recessive pollen. Then the height of the progeny will show whether the plant was heterozygous or hom-ozygous. That is how you can find out which one it is.
