When Tt plants (heterozygous for a trait) are pollinated, they can produce offspring with the genotypes TT, Tt, and tt. This follows the principles of Mendelian genetics, where the expected phenotypic ratio among the offspring would be 3:1 for dominant to recessive traits. Therefore, about 75% of the offspring will exhibit the dominant trait, while 25% will display the recessive trait.
When Mendel crossed short tt pea plants (homozygous recessive) with short pea plants that were heterozygous for height (Tt), the offspring would display a phenotypic ratio of 1 short (tt) to 1 tall (Tt). This is because the short plants (tt) can only contribute recessive alleles, while the heterozygous plants (Tt) can contribute either a dominant (T) or a recessive (t) allele. Therefore, half of the offspring would be tall and half would be short.
The phenotypic ratio expected from a monohybrid cross between heterozygotes is 3:1 (assuming complete dominance), with the genotypic ratio being 1:2:1. So, using tall = T, short = t and R = red, r = white as an example. A monohybrid cross of Tt X Tt would be expected to produce 3 tall plants and 1 short plant (phenotypic ratio 3:1), which would be 1 TT, 2 Tt and 1 tt (genotypic ratio 1:2:1). A dihybrid cross of heterozygotes is expected to produce a phenotypic ratio of 9:3:3:1. So the cross of TtRr X TtRr would be epected to have: 9 tall red, 3 tall white, 3 short red and 1 short white (phenotypic ratio) This is because each parent has 4 possible combinations of gametes (TR, Tr, tR and tr). There are therefore 16 combinations of gametes, providing a 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio. Both of these are probably best visualised using a punnett square (see link below).
genotype of the parents - parents will be heterozygous dominant. e.g. take the example of Mendel's pea cross. if parent is heterozygous dominant then the genotype will be Tt and Tt now if you will do a cross then the result you will get is this - Tt X Tt result - TT, Tt, Tt, tt it gives a 3 : 1 ratio i.e. three tall and one dwarf.

The ratio produced would be 1:1 for heterozygous (Tt) offspring to homozygous recessive (tt) offspring. This is because the parent with genotype Tt will pass on one dominant allele (T) and one recessive allele (t) to its offspring, resulting in a 50% chance of either genotype in the offspring.
3 : 1 ( since the given situation of segregating genotypes TT Tt Tt tt comes under monohybrid genetic combination, it will show 3 tall plants and 1 dwarf plant because gene T is dominant over t.

Let T=trait (dominant) Let t= trait (recessive) Father has Tt and mother also has Tt The possible combinations for offspring are: TT Tt Tt and tt Therefore There is a 3/4 change of the offspring having the dominant trait and a 1/4 Chance of the offspring having the recessive trait It should also be noted that there is a 1/4 chance of the offspring carrying two dominant genes meaning that any of their children will also share the dominant trait

Using a Punnett square, we can predict that 3 out of the 4 offspring will be tall if both parent plants are heterozygous for the tall trait (Tt x Tt). This is based on the 3:1 phenotypic ratio expected from a monohybrid cross.
In Mendel's F2 generation, the 3:1 ratio observed for dominant to recessive traits arises from the segregation of alleles during gamete formation. When he crossed heterozygous parents (Tt), the resulting offspring can inherit combinations of alleles that produce three dominant phenotype offspring (TT or Tt) and one recessive phenotype offspring (tt). This reflects the principles of Mendelian inheritance, specifically the law of segregation, where each parent contributes one allele for a trait, leading to the 3:1 phenotypic ratio in the F2 generation.

The ratio produced would be 1:1 for heterozygous (Tt) offspring to homozygous recessive (tt) offspring. This is because the parent with genotype Tt will pass on one dominant allele (T) and one recessive allele (t) to its offspring, resulting in a 50% chance of either genotype in the offspring.
The ratio produced if Tt is crossed with tt is 1:1 for the genotype and 1:1 for the phenotype. This is because all the offspring will inherit a recessive allele from the tt parent, resulting in all of them having the same genotype and phenotype.
Tt, tt -- novanet :)
The possible offspring outcomes of this cross would be 50% Tt (heterozygous) and 50% tt (homozygous recessive).
A cross between members of the F1 generation (Tt x Tt), results in the genotypic ratio of 1TT:2Tt:1tt genotypes in the F2 generation. Because the tall allele is dominant, the phenotypic ratio would be 3 tall:1 short in the F2 generation.
