Tall plants (t) are completely dominant over short plants (t). you cross a short plant (female) with a tall plant (male) that is heterozygous. use a punnett square to determine the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratios for the offspring.

Respuesta :

Considering Tall is capital T

Genotypic: 50% hetero dom and 50% homo recess

Phenotypic: 50% tall and 50% short

If a short plant (female) is crossed with a tall plant (male) that is heterozygous, the phenotypic and genotypic ratio of the offsprings are as follows:

  • Phenotypic ratio: 1 tall: 1 short
  • Genotypic ratio: 1 Tt : 1 tt

How to cross using punnet square?

According to this question, Tall plants (T) are completely dominant over short plants (t). This means that in a heterozygous state, the tall trait will be expressed.

If a short plant (female) is crossed with a tall plant (male) that is heterozygous i.e. Tt (tall male) × tt (short female), the offsprings produced are as follows:

  • Tt
  • Tt
  • tt
  • tt

Therefore, the phenotypic and genotypic ratio of the offsprings are as follows:

  • Phenotypic ratio: 1 tall: 1 short
  • Genotypic ratio: 1 Tt : 1 tt
