The Punnett square for this cross would be as follows:
P p
P PP Pp
p Pp pp
So, in this cross, 50% of the offspring will have the genotype pp (short). Therefore, the frequency of short offspring (pp) would be 0.5.
Therefore, the correct answer is: 0.5.
A tall pea plant results form a dominant tall allele while the short phenotype results from two recessive alleles. What is the frequency of the short offspring (pp) when a tall pea plant with one tall allele (Pp) is crossed with a short pea plant (pp)? (1 point)
O 0.5
O 0.25
O 0.75
Ο 1.0
