If a pure tall plant is crossed with a dwarf plants the offspring will be |
|
Answer» Answer: ANSWER Height in PEA plant is determined by two alleles, T and t. Pure tall plants have genotype TT while pure dwarf has genotype tt. Here the F 1
generation has a genotype of Tt ( heterozygous ). Allele T is dominant over t and result in all the 'Tt' offspring as tall. DOMINANCE is the condition in which the effect on the phenotype of ONE allele masks the contribution of a second allele at the same locus. The first allele is dominant and the second allele is recessive. F 2
generation has offspring as TT, Tt and tt in the ration of 1:3:1. As we can see again, allele 'T' is dominant in CASE of the heterozygous condition. So, the correct option is 'Dominance'. Answer By |
