Tomato plants usually have hairy stems. Hairless stems are present in tomato plants that are homozygous recessive for this trait. If the stem characteristics are determined by a single gene, what is the expected outcome of crossing two tomato plants that are heterozygous for hairy stems?

The expected outcome of crossing two tomato plants that are heterozygous for hairy stems is observing a phenotypic proportion of 3:1 plants (3 hair stem plants: 1 hairless stem plant).

What is dominance?

Dominance in genetics is a phenomenon where the dominant alleles mask the recessive allele in heterozygous individuals.

  • Heterozygous individuals carry two different alleles for a given gene locus.

  • Homo-zygous individuals carry the same allele or gene variant for a given gene locus.

In conclusion, the expected outcome of crossing two tomato plants that are heterozygous for hairy stems is observing a phenotypic proportion of 3:1 plants (3 hair stem plants: 1 hairless stem plants).
