Question

In peas, Mendel found that tall plants and yellow peas are dominant. The phenotype for a pea plant with the genotype TTyy would be:

a. heterozygous.
b. Ty.
c. short with yellow peas.
d. tall with green peas.
e. tall with yellow peas.

Answer 1

The phenotype for a pea plant with the genotype TTyy is tall with yellow peas.

Step-by-step explanation:

The phenotype for a pea plant with the genotype TTyy would be tall with yellow peas. In Mendel's experiments, he found that tall plants and yellow peas are dominant traits. The dominant allele for plant height is represented by T, and the recessive allele is t. Similarly, the dominant allele for seed color is represented by Y, and the recessive allele is y. In the given genotype TTyy, the plant is homozygous dominant for plant height and homozygous recessive for seed color.
