What is a pea plant with two tall genes said to be?

A pea plant with two tall genes is said to be homozygous for the tall trait, specifically represented as "TT." In genetics, homozygous means that the organism has two identical alleles for a particular trait. In this case, the plant will consistently express the tall phenotype when bred, as both alleles contribute to that characteristic.


If a plant has homozygous tall genes what kimd of genes does the plant have?

If a plant is homozygous tall then it would possess two tall genes instead of a short gene. If for the notation you use B to represent the dominant tall gene and b to represent the recessive short gene the plant would carry and "BB" compliment of genes.


Do genes only affect a person's height?

No, genes can influence various aspects of an individual's physical and behavioral traits, not just their height. Genes can impact things like eye color, hair texture, predisposition to certain diseases, and even personality traits. Height is just one of many characteristics that can be influenced by genetic factors.


What does a capital letter such as T represent ina punnet square?

Capital letters on Punnett Squares represent dominant genes, while lowercase letters represent recessive genes. For example, if the trait "T" is a tall gene and the trait "t" is a short gene. When you get your results (if both parents are heterozygous for tallness, Tt) you get four possible results, 1 TT (homozygous tall), 2 Tt (twice, heterozygous tall Tt), and 1 tt (homozygous short). If there is a dominant gene there, that gene will be displayed. Only if there are two recessive genes will the recessive trait be displayed.


Do genes determine your height?

I think that it both matters. depends. if you live in post-explosion chernobyl than the environment would likely affect your height more. but if you lived in an average (enviromentally) place than genes would. Both do play roughly equal roles, the only studies that really show this are very small as identical twins that have been sperated at birth, which are of course not very common at all. These twins studies show a significant difference in the heights of the subjects suggesting a nenvironmental effect (as their genes are exactly the same and only the upbringing was different). On the other side of the coin paired group studies where people who have lived as similar as possible lives (ideally adoptees and their adopted siblings) are compared heights can still vairy dramatically suggesting that genetis also plays a role. Yes and genetics doesn't only mean both parents, but also grand parents, great grand parents, and so on.

How both gene and the environment determine how tall a person will be?

A persons' genes do determine height but the environment also does. Many people without enough food as a child will not be as tall as their genes saw that they should be.

What continuous variation?

Continuous Variations are the characteristics of a person or animal. These characteristics are based on the genes given from your parents. Such as height, if your parents are both tall it is certain that the tall gene will be passed down to you from both parents.


Why is cristianoronaldo so tall?

Cristian Ronaldo is '6,1'. He is so tall because of the genes he was born with. Nobody can choose how tall they want to be, genetics determines a persons height.


Why a tall mother and a tall father do not necessarily produce a tall baby?

The genes in the tall mother and father do not necessarily match. One of the genes may be faulty, and might not be "compatible" with the other genes, making both go different.


Genes carry the information that determines what?

Genes carry the information that determines an organism's traits, such as its physical characteristics, behavior, and some aspects of its physiology. This information is encoded in the DNA sequence of the genes and is passed down from parents to offspring through the process of inheritance.


What determins phenotype?

the genotypeThe genotype (genes) of an organism determines its phenotype (what it looks and acts like). The phenotype can also be slightly influenced by the organism's environment. For example, if a human inherits genes to be taller than average, but has poor nutrition as a child, he won't be as tall as his genes had coded.


How do genes and chromosomes effect your development?

Chromosomes are genes you get from your parents. They affect your physical features and how you grow. Like if your parents were both short, you would get chromosomes deciding if you get their dominate gene (short) or both recessive genes (tall). You have 42 chromosomes when you are born (21 from each parent)


What combinations of genes could tall pea plants have?

two tall genes or one tall gene and one short gene


Can you be taller than your mother and father?

Yes. Any number of reasons might have caused your parents to grow less tall than they might have; nutrition or environmental factors, for example. or your parents might have had a mix of genes for tall and short, and you got the "tall" genes from both your mother and father.

What would an average weight of an 4'5 tall girls be?

Other factors than how tall someone is determines weight. These are age, how much you eat, and genes. If you are a preteen or young teen your body isn’t through growing and in six months you will look different.
