The table shows the genotypes of three pea plants for the allele for height. Which prediction about the three plants is the most reasonable?
plant a is tt
plant b is TT
plan c is Tt
(1 point)
Plant C will be the shortest.
Plant A will be the tallest.
Plant B and Plant C will have similar heights.
Plant A and Plant C will have similar heights.
1 answer
Based on the information provided, the most reasonable prediction would be that Plant A and Plant C will have similar heights. This is because Plant A is homozygous recessive (tt) for the allele for height, while Plant C is heterozygous (Tt). Assuming that the allele for tall height is dominant over the allele for short height, both Plant A and Plant C will exhibit the tall phenotype, making them have similar heights.
