An observable trait
What is an allele?

a dominant form of a gene

a form of a gene

the location of a gene on a chromosome

the trait a gene controls
A form of a gene.
Use the table to answer the question.

the genotypes of three pea plants for the allele for height. Which prediction about the three plants is the most reasonable?

Plant A Plant B Plant C
tt TT Tt

Plant C will be the shortest.

Plant B and Plant C will have similar heights.

Plant A and Plant C will have similar heights.

Plant A will be the tallest.
Based on the genotypes provided, Plant A has the genotype tt which corresponds to the homozygous recessive allele for height. Therefore, it is most reasonable to predict that Plant A will be the shortest among the three plants.
