Really, there is no set letter for any allele. It is common, however, to use the first letter of the dominant allele. Since tall height is dominant over short height in pea plants, then the allele for short would be the t (a lowercase t).

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


In pea plants tall (T) plants are dominant over short (t) plants. If a heterozygous (Tt) pea plant is crossed with a homozygous dominant (TT) pea plant all of the resulting pea plants should be tall (?

Dominant Allele


What are three types of genotypes that exist for pea plant height?

Three types of genotypes that exist for pea plant height are: TT - Homozygous dominant genotype for tall height Tt - Heterozygous genotype for tall height tt - Homozygous recessive genotype for short height


In certain plants tall is dominant to short If a heterozygous plant is crossed with a homozygous tall plant what is the probability that the offspring will be short?

0 (there is no chance it will be short since tall is dominant over short). Hope this helps! - Biology Student


How can two plants that have different genotype have the same phenotype?

No they do not. Say for example we are looking at the the colour of pea plants where R represents the allele for the colour red and, and the other allele r represents green. The plant will be red with the genotype RR AND Rr which are different genotypes.


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


In the p generation a tall plant was crossed with a short plant. Short plants reappeared in the f2 generation because?

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.


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


When Gregor Mendel crossed a tall plant with a short plant what where the results of the F1 generation?

The F1 generation of crossing a tall plant with a short plant resulted in all tall plants. This is because the tall trait is dominant and the short trait is recessive in Mendel's experiments with pea plants.


A pea plant has a tall stem what are its possible genotypes-?

Is tall dominant? You didn't say. Let's assume it is. Therefore, as long as a dominant allele is one of the two alleles an organism has for every trait, and we let "R" stand for dominant tall and 'r' stand for recessive short, then either an RR or Rr genotype will result in a tall phenotype.


What size pea plants would result when two short plants are crossed?

It depends on whether the short trait is dominant or recessive. If shortness is dominant, the resulting pea plants would be of intermediate height. If shortness is recessive, the resulting pea plants would be short like the parents.


What happened when Gregor Mendel crossed a tall plant with a short plant?

Gregor Mendel discovered that when he crossed a tall plant with a short plant, all the resulting offspring were tall. This indicated that the trait for tallness was dominant over the trait for shortness.
