The genotype of the tall pea plant is heterozygous
nine A+ three
All the first-generation offspring will be smooth peas, as the smooth trait is dominant over the wrinkled trait in peas. This is known as a monohybrid cross involving one gene with two alleles.
A cross between two hybrid Tt pea plants would be expected to produce 1/4 TT, 1/2 Tt, and 1/4 tt offspring.
The possible genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring can be determined using a Punnett square, a grid that shows the possible combinations of alleles that can result at fertilisation. The Punnett square below shows the expected genotypes of the offspring of parent pea plants that both have the genotype Rr.
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.

Mendel Diagrams. If the offspring gets a dominate gene from both parents, the offspring will exhibit traits from the dominate gene. If the offspring gets a dominate gene from one parent and a recessive gene from another, the offspring will exhibit traits from the dominate gene. If the offspring get a recessive gene from both parents, the offspring will exhibit traits from the recessive gene.
Parental Phenotypes are when the offspring of two parents look like one of the two parents. for example, if a green wrinkled pea is crossed with a heterozygous yellow round pea the offspring are 1/4 yellow round, 1/4 green wrinkled, 1/4 yellow wrinkled, and 1/4 green round. the yellow round and green wrinkled look like the parents so they have parental phenotypes, whereas the yellow wrinkled and the green round have combinations of the parental phenotypes thus they have recombinant phenotypes.
An example of Mendel's classic cross would be crossing pea plants that are purebred for tall height with pea plants that are purebred for short height, resulting in a first-generation hybrid offspring that are all tall.

A trait determined by a single gene with two alleles will typically have only two possible phenotypes, one associated with each allele. Examples include pea plant seed color (yellow or green) and human blood type (A or B).

If green pea pods are dominant over yellow pea pods, all offspring from the cross will have green pea pods. This is because the dominant trait (green) will mask the recessive trait (yellow) in the heterozygous offspring. The genotype of the offspring will be heterozygous for the pod color trait.
