In pea plants tall is dominant and short is recessive. a heterozygous tall plant is crossed with a short plant. what is the expected genotype ratio?

Respuesta :

If you were to come up with letters to represent those traits, (I used for tall and for short. Heterozygous mean that you'd have Tt, and short would have to be tt, since if you used a dominant allele, it would result in a tall trait. So Tt x tt on a punnet square would give you two of each, meaning the genotypic ratio is 2:2
Parents: Tt × tt
Possible genotypes: Tt, Tt, tt, tt.
So that's 2:2 since the plants have a 50% chance of being tall or short.
