In pea plants, the allele for height follows a basic dominance pattern where the dominant allele (T) results in tall plants, and the recessive allele (t) results in short plants.
From the table:
- Plant A: tt (homozygous recessive, short)
- Plant B: TT (homozygous dominant, tall)
- Plant C: Tt (heterozygous, tall)
Based on this information:
- Plant A (tt) will be short.
- Plant B (TT) will be tall.
- Plant C (Tt) will also be tall, but maybe slightly shorter than Plant B depending on other factors.
Given these observations, the most reasonable prediction is:
Plant C will be the shortest.
So the correct response would be: Plant C will be the shortest.
