Answers and Explanation:
Find enclosed the Punnet square.
T= dominant allele
t= recessive allele
Tt= heterozygous genotype
TT and tt= homozygous genotype
- The male pea plant's genotype is Tt (heterozygous)
- The female pea plant's genotype is Tt (heterozygous)
- Male gametes: T and t
- Female gametes: T and t
- The expected genotypic ratio of the offpring will be:
TT: Tt: tt ⇒ 1: 2: 1
1/4 of the offpring will be TT genotype (dominant homozygous), 1/2 of the offpring will be Tt (heterozygous) genotype and 1/4 of the offpring will be tt genotype (recessive homozygous).
- The expected phenotypic ratio of the offpring will be:
tall : short ⇒ 3 : 1
3/4 of the offpring will be tall (TT and Tt) and the restant 1/4 will be short (tt).
