Tt is a genotype. Each letter is called an allele and represents a different trait. For instance, the T could stand for tall, and the t could stand for short. Because the T is a capital letter, it is the dominant trait. In the case of Tt, the person would be tall. If the genotype was TT, the person would again be tall. If the genotype was tt, the person would be short. All traits are represented by two or more alleles. Things like blood type are represented by multiple alleles.
The allele pair of someone with a genotype TT is homozygous dominant.
Genotype TT is called a homozygous genotype. The TT indicates identical alleles, and the capital letters represent their dominant trait.
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).
These are letters assigned to alleles or variations in genes. TT means that there are two dominate alleles. Tt means that there is one dominate and one recessive and tt means that both are recessive.
Tall = T short = t Tall plants genotype would either be TT or Tt, and short plants genotype would be tt.
false
A tall looking pea plant can have a genotype of Tt or TT.
A heterozygous genotype
Genotype TT is called a homozygous genotype. The TT indicates identical alleles, and the capital letters represent their dominant trait.
The allele pair of someone with a genotype TT is homozygous dominant.
The allele pair of someone with a genotype TT is homozygous dominant.
Genotype TT is called a homozygous genotype. The TT indicates identical alleles, and the capital letters represent their dominant trait.
two capital or two lowercase letters in the GENOTYPE (ex: TT or tt) it's also called HOMOZYGOUS.

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.

These are letters assigned to alleles or variations in genes. TT means that there are two dominate alleles. Tt means that there is one dominate and one recessive and tt means that both are recessive.
Because the Tall gene in plants is dominant, a plant that has the genotype Tt (Heterozygous) would be a Tall plant.
