Question

A tall pea plant (Tt) is crossbred with another tall pea plant (Tt). The following Punnett square shows the separated alleles for two pea plants. (3 points) Punnett square showing female parent across the top with a phenotype of tall and a genotype of Tt and a male parent across the side with a phenotype of tall and a genotype of Tt. Inside the top left box 1 is written, inside the top right box 2 is written, inside the bottom left box 3 is written, inside the bottom right box 4 is written. Which of the following shows the correct match of the box numbers and the genotype of the offspring?

Answer 1

The Punnett square predicts the genotypes of offspring in a cross between two tall pea plants (Tt). The correct match of box numbers and genotypes is: Box 1: Tt, Box 2: TT, Box 3: Tt, and Box 4: tt.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Punnett square provided shows a cross between two tall pea plants with the genotype Tt. The offspring genotypes are represented by the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 in the boxes. To determine the correct match of box numbers and genotypes, you need to consider the possible combinations of alleles. In this case, the correct match is:

• Box 1: Tt
• Box 2: TT
• Box 3: Tt
• Box 4: tt
