4get genetics, height mainly depends on amounts of exercise, stretching, B vitamins, and calcium. Vitamins D, E, K, A, and F are also very important to your growth. Try looking for iodine and phosphorous which can be found in table salts and asparagus. Even though asparagus tastes like doo-doo, you can still marinate it in lemon or strawberry, but since the tip of the asparagus is the healthiest part, that's all you have to eat. By the way, I'm pretty sure that with males the taller gene is more dominat, with females the the shorter gene is more dominant.

Are all tall peas always purebred for tallness?

No, not all tall pea plants are purebred for tallness. In Mendel's experiments with pea plants, tallness is a dominant trait, but if a tall plant is heterozygous (having one allele for tallness and one for shortness), it can produce offspring that are either tall or short. Only plants that are homozygous for the tall trait (having two alleles for tallness) will consistently produce tall offspring. Thus, genetic testing or breeding records are needed to determine if a tall pea plant is purebred.


What T is a trait for tallness in pea plants. The trait for shortness is t. In a case of simple dominance what is the height of a plant with the genotype Tt?

In pea plants, the trait for tallness (T) is dominant over the trait for shortness (t). Therefore, a plant with the genotype Tt will exhibit the dominant trait, resulting in a tall phenotype. This means that the plant will be tall, as the presence of at least one dominant allele (T) is sufficient to express the tall trait.


Is tallness a recessive trait?

No, tallness is typically a polygenic trait influenced by multiple genes. It is not determined by a single gene and therefore cannot be categorized as recessive or dominant in the same way that Mendelian traits are.


A true breeding tall plant was crossed with a true breeding short plant If alleles did not segregate during gamete formation?

All offspring would be heterozygous for the gene controlling plant height. This is because if alleles do not segregate, they remain together and are passed on as a unit. The offspring plants would all be tall because the allele for tallness is dominant over the allele for shortness.


Why were all of mendels first generation plants tall?

All of Mendel's first-generation plants were tall because they were all homozygous dominant for the trait of tallness. This means they received two dominant alleles for tallness from the parental plants, resulting in expression of the tall phenotype.

What are some antonyms for the word altitude?

the synonyms are elevation, altitude, tallness. From this I have derived antonyms: depth, shortness.


The cross between the homozygous tall parent and the honozygous short parent produces only tall offspring what is the term used to describe the allele for shortness?

The term used to describe the allele for shortness is recessive. In this case, the allele for shortness is masked or overridden by the dominant allele for tallness.

Is tallness a sex linked trait?

Men are in most cases on average taller than women, but whether an individual is tall or not depends on what traits for height they received from their parents. Most of the time, if your parents were both tall you will be tall, and vice versa. However, if you are tall and your parents are both short, and vice versa, you may have inherited a recessive gene for either tallness or shortness that skipped your parents generation.

What do purebreeds conists of?

Purebreds is a term to describe organisms that contain a homozygous gene, whether dominant or recessive. Usually, this can be down through selective breeding which is practised in many industrial purposes, such as raising cattle. For example the gene for tallness is dominant, therefore represented by a T, while for shortness it is a recessive allele, which is represented by a t. A purebred for tallness can be either TT or tt, meaning purebred tall, or purebred short.


What is the genotype of a heterozygous tall plant?

The genotype of a heterozygous tall plant would be Tt, with one allele for tallness (T) and one allele for shortness (t).

What is the difference between a pure tall plant and a 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.


WhAT describes the notation Tt for the trait of being tall?

The notation Tt represents a heterozygous genotype for the trait of being tall, where T is the dominant allele for tallness and t is the recessive allele for shortness. This means the individual will exhibit the tall trait because the dominant allele is expressed.
