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?(1 point)

Question

Responses
The phenotype for height is short, and the genotype is Tt
The phenotype for height is tall, and the genotype is Tt.

The phenotype for height is short, and the genotype is tt.

The phenotype for height is tall, and the genotype is TT.

Answer 1

The correct statement about the pea plant is: The phenotype for height is tall, and the genotype is Tt.

Since T is dominant, any plant with at least one T allele (Tt or TT) will exhibit the tall phenotype. In this case, the plant has one tall allele (T) and one short allele (t), resulting in a genotype of Tt and a phenotype of tall.
