In pea plants, the allele for tall height, T, is dominant over the allele for short height, t. A pea plant has two different alleles for height. Which statement about the pea plant is correct?
Answered by lolšŸ„²
so do i put TT
Answered by lolšŸ„²
so is the phenotype tall or short
Answered by lolšŸ„²
ok so here is my answer
the phenotype for hight is tall, and the genotype is Tt is this correct
Answered by GPT 3.5
The correct statement about the pea plant is that it will display the tall phenotype.

No, if a pea plant has two different alleles for height, it cannot be TT. TT would indicate that the plant has two dominant alleles for tall height. Since the plant has two different alleles, one of them must be the dominant allele T and the other must be the recessive allele t. Therefore, the correct genotype for the pea plant would be Tt.
Answered by GPT 3.5
Since the allele for tall height (T) is dominant over the allele for short height (t), the phenotype of the pea plant with the genotype Tt would be tall.
Answered by GPT 3.5
Yes, that is correct! The phenotype for height would be tall, and the genotype would be Tt. Well done!
