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.
The genotypes TT and Tt represent different combinations of alleles for a particular gene. TT is homozygous dominant, meaning it has two identical dominant alleles, while Tt is heterozygous, containing one dominant allele (T) and one recessive allele (t). This difference can affect the expression of traits, with TT typically exhibiting the dominant phenotype and Tt also showing the dominant phenotype, but potentially carrying the recessive trait.

If two alleles are dominant, the phenotypes will reflect the dominant traits associated with each allele. Both alleles will be expressed in the phenotype, resulting in a phenotype that shows the dominant characteristics of both alleles.
Not entirely sure what you meant on that one, but I'll try and answer it. Genes have a genotype and a phenotype. (spelling?) A genotype is the "official label for the gene" (i.e. Tt, TT, tt) and phenotype descibes the appearance (i.e. homozygous tall, heterozygous tall, heterozygous short...) Hope this helps!
Nope! TT is the dominant phenotype (what ever it may be) and tt is the recessive phenotype (what ever that may be).So say T is the allele for Tall plants, t is the allele for short plants. TT would be show the tall phenotype while tt would show the short phenotype. If the genotype was Tt, the phenotype would be tall as well because the T is dominant and masks the phenotype of t (short plants).
Codiminant principle suggests that a plant with the genotype Tt will display a tall phenotype.
Codiminant principle suggests that a plant with the genotype Tt will display a tall phenotype.
Tt X Tt Statistically, 1 TT Homozygous dominant, expresses T. 2 Tt Heterozygous dominant, expresses T. 1 tt Homozygous recessive, expresses t.
OK first, you don't say tT. The dominant allele is always put first. So this would actually be TT Tt Tt and tt. The only way a recessive trait will show is if the dominant trait isn't present. Therefore 3 will be tall and one will be short. BTW: TT isn't an example of an allele. It's actually the genotype. T is an example of an allele. Tallness is a genetic trait, but T is not. A genetic trait is simply a title that includes whatever phenotype may become apparent. A phenotype is the trait that shows up. If a person's genotype is TT or Tt, their phenotype will be tall. If a person's genotype is tt, then their phenotype will be short.
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.

The tall pea plants have the phenotype of tall height. Their genotypes can vary depending on whether they are homozygous dominant (TT) or heterozygous (Tt) for the tall trait.
If two alleles are dominant, the phenotypes will reflect the dominant traits associated with each allele. Both alleles will be expressed in the phenotype, resulting in a phenotype that shows the dominant characteristics of both alleles.
both must be tt or both must be Tt
both must be tt or both must be Tt
