The genotypes TT and Tt represent different combinations of alleles for a particular gene. TT is homozygous dominant, meaning it has two identical dominant alleles, while Tt is heterozygous, containing one dominant allele (T) and one recessive allele (t). This difference can affect the expression of traits, with TT typically exhibiting the dominant phenotype and Tt also showing the dominant phenotype, but potentially carrying the recessive trait.
I think you have the question backwards, "Why isn't it possible to have more phenotypes than genotypes?" There are always more or an equal number of genotypes relative to phenotypes. The phenotype for a simple dominant/recessive interaction (for example) T for tall and t for short where TT is tall, Tt is tall and tt is short has three genotypes and two phenotypes. If T and t are co-dominant then TT would be tall, Tt would be intermediate and tt would be short. (Three phenotypes and three genotypes.)
In a cross between Parent 1 (Tt) and Parent 2 (tt), the possible genotypes of the offspring are Tt and tt. The Tt offspring will be heterozygous and display the dominant trait, while the tt offspring will be homozygous recessive and display the recessive trait. There is a 50% chance (2 out of 4 possibilities) that the offspring will be tt and show the recessive trait. Therefore, 50% of the offspring will display the recessive trait.
Yes, a genotype of TT or ff indicates a purebred individual for a specific trait. TT signifies homozygous dominant, while ff signifies homozygous recessive.
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
When a homozygous dominant pea plant (TT) is crossed with a heterozygous pea plant (Tt), the possible genotypes of the offspring are TT and Tt. This results in a 1:1 ratio of tall (TT and Tt) to short (tt) plants. Therefore, out of 200 seeds produced, approximately 200 seeds will be tall plants (100 TT and 100 Tt) and 0 seeds will be short (tt).
The combination that will complete the Punnett square for this example is Tt. This would be the offspring resulting from a cross between the parent genotypes TT and Tt.
Firstly, if the condition is recessive, both the man and the child with the condition must have the genotype tt. The mother must have the genotype Tt. This is because if she had TT, all of the children would be Tt and not have the condition. If she were tt, she would have the condition as well. Therefore if the father has tt and the mother has Tt, the other 3 children who do not have the condition must all have the genotype Tt. So: Mother - Tt Father - tt Affected child - tt Other children - Tt
P1: tt F2: tt
The tall pea plants have the phenotype of tall height. Their genotypes can vary depending on whether they are homozygous dominant (TT) or heterozygous (Tt) for the tall trait.
I think you have the question backwards, "Why isn't it possible to have more phenotypes than genotypes?" There are always more or an equal number of genotypes relative to phenotypes. The phenotype for a simple dominant/recessive interaction (for example) T for tall and t for short where TT is tall, Tt is tall and tt is short has three genotypes and two phenotypes. If T and t are co-dominant then TT would be tall, Tt would be intermediate and tt would be short. (Three phenotypes and three genotypes.)
TT or Tt
3 : 1 ( since the given situation of segregating genotypes TT Tt Tt tt comes under monohybrid genetic combination, it will show 3 tall plants and 1 dwarf plant because gene T is dominant over t.
TT is telegraph transfer and OD is on demand.
TT is a ticket taker and TC is a ticket chaker
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.
both must be tt
both must be tt
