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

No, 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

∙ 11y agoNo; short stems are recessive, and hybrids are always heterozygous dominant.
Let's say lowercase is the recessive trait (short stem) and uppercase is the dominant trait (long stem):
ss = short
Ss = long
SS = long

∙ 12y agoyes, supposing tall is 'T' and short is 't', if two tall plants that were both Tt were crossed, the would produce one TT, two Tt (carrying the short gene) and one tt.
Yes, two heterozygous tall plants could produce short pea plants.

Wiki User
∙ 13y agoYes it can. It can be heterozygous for a trait such as height. However, because there are so many traits it has, it can easily be crossed with other plants and form hybrids.

∙ 11y agoYes, it can be produced. By crossing two heterozygous tall plants (Tt x Tt), there is 25% chances of getting a short pea plant.

wildlife is wild animals and plants
Is there any place in the world where plants do not grow?
Plants have three basic requirements to grow: sunlight, air and water. Wherever all these three requirements are fulfilled you will find plants growing there. In case, any of these prerequisites are not fully available, the plants show an amazing ability to adapt. They can adapt to any new environment in a very short period of time. Some plants possess amazing charateristics as a result of this adaptability eg. the pitcher plant (Nepenthes distillatoria). We came across plants in almost all regions of the earth, ie. in water, grasslands, deserts, tropical as well temperate regions. Plants are even seen growing in Taiga and Tundra regions. Only places where plants have not been observed are the extreme cold areas of Arctic and Antarctic regions. This is probably because these areas are permanently frozen and the plants are unable to get water in liquid form. References Plant adaptations http://www.mbgnet.net/bioplants/adapt.html
Why do longer faults usually produce larger earthquakes than short faults?
Because it is stronger!
Were does a plant make its food?
Green plants use a process called photosynthesis to combine Water and Carbon dioxide gas to form carbohydrates, using the energy from sunlight to power the reaction. Oxygen gas is given off as a waste product of this reaction.
Does helium make plants grow?
In short kind of... they still need many thing other than that but if you can fill a clear bag with it and put it on a plant it will grow fast... You need liquid for fresh water plants though. Is hard to make!
What must be true for a cross between a tall plant and a short plant to produce any short plants?
the tall plant must be heterozygous.
What must true for a cross between a tall plant and a short plant to produce any short plants?
the tall plant must be heterozygous.
What must br true for a cross between a tall plant and a short plant to produce any short plants?
The tall plant must be heterozygous.
A tall pea plant and a short pea plant produce short offspring this is an example of?
This was an example of tallness being a dominant phenotypic trait in pea plants
In pea plants the allele for tallness is dominant. What are the possible genotypes of a tall pea plant?
the tall plant must be heterozygous
Why can't you always identify plants from their flowers?
because there is only a short period of time when the plant is in flower and some plants produce different colored flowers
The crossing of homozygous tall pea plants with homozygous short pea plants always resulted in tall plants and demonst?
Homozygous tall pea plants chromosomes are TT and short pea plants are tt. (You can use whatever letters you like, as long as dominate traits are capitalized and recessive lower-cased.) A heterozygous tall pea plant is Tt. This is resulted because the F1 generation takes one chromosome from the tall plant (T) and one from the short plant (t). So you can see only Tt is possible.
Which plants' flowers produce seeds faster short-dayplants or long-day plants?
short day plants
Why did Mendel use all tall plants in his f1 experiment?
Mendel used all tall plants in his F1 experiment because that was the offspring from his cross of a pure tall plant and a pure short plant. By crossing two of the tall plants from F1, he proved that the recessive gene (t) was still present in the F1 generation, despite the phenotypes of all of these plants being tall. (The result of the F1 cross gave 3 tall plants and 1 short plant.)
Is a plant and a tree the same thing?
No, it's like the square rectangle thing-a tree can be a plant but a plant isn't nessacarily a tree
What is the symbol for the genotype of true breeding tall plants short is Dominant?
if we assume tall plant <T> & short plant as< t> genotype of tall plant ; TT genotype of short plant ; tt
What did Mendel predict was the probability of producing a tall plant from a genetic cross of two hybrid tall plants?
because he is only person who predict the probability of tall and short plants is tall plant was 3 in 4 and the short plant was 1 in 4
