Question

From the study of Mendel's experience,infer how two tall parents could have shorts offspring

Answer 1

One or both of the parents may have a recessive gene for short height. For example: T=dominant gene for tall height and t=recessive gene for short height. Father: TT
Mother: Tt
If you do a Punnett square, you can determine that there is a low(<25%) possibility that the offspring will be short
Father: Tt
Mother: Tt
If you do a Punnett square, you can determine that there is a 25% or higher possibility that the offspring will be short since one of the alleles will be tt, making the offspring short.
