∙ 12y agoNo, the short pea trait is recessive and the tall pea plant trait is dominant. This means that if the plant is a hybrid, it has to be a tall pea plant. The dominant traits "mask" the recessive traits. The plant take one trait from their mom and one from their dad. If either the mom or the dad was not a tall, not hybrid pea plant then their kids would have to be tall be cause they would have one dominant, tall trait

∙ 12y agoNo - short height is the recessive trait. This means that any pea plant that is short must be homozygous for this. If they had one tall and one short allele (heterozygous) they would be tall, as this is dominant.

What is the difference between a Pure tall plant and hybrid tall plant?
Pure TraitsPure traits can be either recessive or dominant. Pure traits may have two dominant genes or two recessive genes. For example, a pea plant may have two genes for tallness, which is dominant trait in pea plants. This plant is homozygous plant with a pure dominant trait for tallness. All of the offspring from this plant will be tall. A pea plant with two genes for shortness is also a pure organism. However, shortness in pea plants is a recessive trait. This plant is a homozygous plant with a pure recessive trait for height. The offspring from this plant will be short if it pollinates with another plant that has two genes for shortness. If this plant pollinates with a tall pea plant, the tall dominant gene will mask or cover up the recessive gene for shortness. Both plants are homozygous or pure plants; one is a pure dominant pea plant, the other is a pure recessive pea plant.Hybrid TraitOrganisms that have two unlike genes for a certain trait are called hybrid. A pea plant with one recessive gene for shortness and one dominant gene for tallness is a hybrid for that trait. A hybrid is called heterozygous, as it has two different alleles. The offspring from a pure tall pea plant, cross-pollinated with a pure short pea plant, will result in a heterozygous plant for tallness. No organism has all dominant or all recessive genes. An organism may be pure in certain traits and hybrid others. Remember, that a dominant trait in one kind of organism may be a recessive trait in another organism.
When hybrids are crossed what is the genotype of the offspring?
The term "hybrid" in biology means one who carries different alleles for the same trait. For example, a hybrid plant's genotype for height is Hh. When crossing two hybrids, we are performing this operation: Hh x Hh. The offsprings' genotypes can vary from: HH Hh hh
Scientists call an organism that has two different alleles for a trait is what?
an organism that has two different alleles for a trait is heterozygous
A certain plant has a color that can range from green to yellow. Some plants are very green and some are very yellow but most are in-between. What is most likely true about this trait?
Several different genes control height

How dominant or recessive alleles for the trait of stem height determine whether a pea plant will be tall or short?
The dominant trait for height in a pea plant is tall (TT or Tt). The only instance in which a pea plant will be short is if it carries both recessive alleles (tt).
A plant that is hybrid for a trait is?
Has one dominant and one recessive gene for that particular trait.
What is the difference between a Pure tall plant and hybrid tall plant?
Pure TraitsPure traits can be either recessive or dominant. Pure traits may have two dominant genes or two recessive genes.

Can a short pea plant ever be produce from crossing two tall pea plants?

What do Biologists call a specific characteristic such as seed color or plant height?
I believe it is a trait.
The height of a type of plant has a normal distribution some plants are tall and some are short but most are in between what is most likely true about this trait?
Several different genes control height

Is it possible to be Tt for the trait for height and be short?
No, It is not possible. The trait Tall is always dominant over dwarf.
