Codiminant principle suggests that a plant with the genotype Tt will display a tall phenotype.

A gene that shows maternal effect inheritance is one where the phenotype of the offspring is determined by the genotype of the mother, rather than the offspring's own genotype. This means that even if the offspring carries a certain genetic variant, it will only display the phenotype associated with the mother's genotype.
both must be tt or both must be Tt
both must be tt or both must be Tt
No. Parents with the dominant phenotype might be heterozygous in their genotype. This means they could carry both the dominant and recessive allele for a trait. So they could both pass the recessive allele to an offspring, who would then have the homozygous recessive genotype and recessive phenotype.
Genes that come together with different alleles are called _____.
Organisms or genotypes that are homozygous for a specific trait and always produce offspring of the same phenotype are said to be true breeding. This means that when bred with another organism of the same genotype for that trait, all offspring will display the same characteristic.
If two homozygous plants with contrasting traits are crossed, the expected genotypes for the offspring will be heterozygous. The dominant trait would be expressed, but they'd be carriers for the recessive trait.
Homozygous dominant and heterozygous both are a dominant phenotype.
To produce a pea plant that only displays the recessive phenotype both of the parents must also have the recessive phenotype. In a four square, if one parent displays the recessive phenotype while the other has the dominant phenotype, one of every four offspring should theoretically receive the recessive phenotype as well, but if you want all offspring to be recessive, both parents must also be recessive.
