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.


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 a certain species plant the allele for tallness is dominant over the allele for shortness.to determine wether a tall plant is heterozygous should be crossed with a?

To determine whether a tall plant is heterozygous, it should be crossed with a homozygous recessive plant (short plant). If any offspring are short, the tall plant must be heterozygous; if all offspring are tall, the tall plant is likely homozygous dominant. This test cross allows for the observation of inheritance patterns in the offspring.


When a tall homozygous plant was crossed with a short homozygous plant the F1 offspring were all tall. No short plants were present in the F1 generation. Which principle does this situation represent?

This situation represents Mendel's principle of dominance. In this cross, the tall allele is dominant over the short allele, resulting in all F1 offspring exhibiting the tall phenotype. Since both parent plants are homozygous, the F1 generation inherits one tall allele from the tall parent and one short allele from the short parent, but only the dominant tall trait is expressed.


What is the difference between a homozygous trait and a heterozygous trait and can you please provide an example for each?

a homozygous trait is when an offspring has either both dominant genes or both recessive genes from its parents. a heterozygous trait is when an offspring has both dominant and recessive genes. for example: a long-tailed cat is dominant and a short-tailed cat is recessive. the long-tailed cat (homozygous dominant) had offsprings with the short-tailed cat (homozygous recessive). by doing the punnett square, 100% of their offspring will be heterozygous.

What is the offspring if you cross two heterozygous Tt tall plants?

You get one homozygous dominant (TT), one homozygous recessive (tt), and two heterozygous (Tt).


What offspring would you get if you cross a homozygous tall plant with a homozygous short plant?

Homozygous dominant would be all Capital letters. Homozygous recessive would be all lower case letters. So...in basic color genetics for horses: A homozygous recessive horse would be aaee A homozygous dominant horse would be AAEE


WHAT DO THE LETTERS ON INSIDE OF THE PUNNET SQUARE STAND FOR?

Using Punnett Squares, you can predict the genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring of a cross between a homozygous (purebred) tall pea plant and a homozygous (purebred) short pea plant.

What is the difference between a pure tall plant and a hybrid tall plant?

Pure TraitsPure traits can be either recessive or dominant. Pure traits may have two dominant genes or two recessive genes. For example, a pea plant may have two genes for tallness, which is dominant trait in pea plants. This plant is homozygous plant with a pure dominant trait for tallness. All of the offspring from this plant will be tall. A pea plant with two genes for shortness is also a pure organism. However, shortness in pea plants is a recessive trait. This plant is a homozygous plant with a pure recessive trait for height. The offspring from this plant will be short if it pollinates with another plant that has two genes for shortness. If this plant pollinates with a tall pea plant, the tall dominant gene will mask or cover up the recessive gene for shortness. Both plants are homozygous or pure plants; one is a pure dominant pea plant, the other is a pure recessive pea plant.Hybrid TraitOrganisms that have two unlike genes for a certain trait are called hybrid. A pea plant with one recessive gene for shortness and one dominant gene for tallness is a hybrid for that trait. A hybrid is called heterozygous, as it has two different alleles. The offspring from a pure tall pea plant, cross-pollinated with a pure short pea plant, will result in a heterozygous plant for tallness. No organism has all dominant or all recessive genes. An organism may be pure in certain traits and hybrid others. Remember, that a dominant trait in one kind of organism may be a recessive trait in another organism.


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


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


What is the difference between a Pure tall plant and hybrid tall plant?

A pure tall plant refers to one that has been consistently bred with other tall plants of the same variety to maintain its tall characteristics. A hybrid tall plant, on the other hand, results from cross-breeding two different varieties of plants to create a new plant with varying characteristics, such as height.
