It depends on the genetics of the parents. If both parents carry a short gene, then all the offspring would have a chance of being short. If only one parent carries the short gene, then approximately half of the offspring would be short.

When Mendel crossed short tt pea plants with short pea plants the offspring were?

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.


If you made a Punnett square showing Gregor Mendels cross between true breeding short plsntd the square would show that the offspring had what?

The Punnett square would show that all offspring would be heterozygous for the trait, meaning they would have one allele for tall plants and one allele for short plants. This would result in all offspring being tall plants phenotypically, but carrying the allele for short plants.


If T represents the allele for tall pea plants and t represents the allele for short pea plants what is the phenotype of each parent and of the offspring?

tall and short


If you performed the Drosophila cross LL x ll what phenotypic ratio would you expect among the offspring?

You would expect a 1:1 ratio of offspring with a long body (LL) to offspring with a short body (ll) due to the incomplete dominance of the gene for body length in Drosophila.


In flies long wings are a dominant trait and short wings are a recessive trait. If a heterozygous long-winged fly is crossed with a short-winged fly what is the LIKELIHOOD that the offspring will cont?

When a heterozygous long-winged fly (LW) is crossed with a short-winged fly (ww), the possible genotypes of the offspring are LW and ww. This results in a 50% chance of producing long-winged offspring (LW) and a 50% chance of producing short-winged offspring (ww). Therefore, there is a 50% likelihood that the offspring will have long wings.

Does the eastern cougar have offspring if so how many?

If eastern cougars did not have offspring, they would become extinct. They have one or two at a time.

How could the f1 generation of tall offspring produce 3 tall plants and 1 short?

An F1 x F1 cross would be a cross between heterozygous (Tt) parents. The offspring would be 1/4 TT, 1/2 Tt, and 1/4 tt. This would mean that 3/4 of the offspring would be tall, and 1/4 would be short.These offspring would be the F2 generation.

What would the length of eye lashes be to the offspring of a mother with long eye lashes and a father with short eye lashes?

It would depend on the dominant gene: I would compare the mother's parents eyelashes to the father's parents eyelashes, for each of the parent's eyelashes that are long it is an increase in 25% that the offspring will have long eyelashes. Unless half of the father's parents have long lashes then that shows the short lash gene is dominant.


What will be the ratio produced if Tt is crossed with tt?

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.


What would happen if the gene for colored spots was not passed from a moth to its offspring?

If the gene for colored spots was not passed from a moth to its offspring, the offspring would not have colored spots. Traits are inherited from parents through genes, so without the gene for colored spots, the offspring would not exhibit this specific physical characteristic.
