Question

In Mendelian inheritance, the dominant allele is for tall plants and the recessive allele is for short plants. Which of the following statements is correct in terms of phenotype and genotype?

A. Tt is a phenotype that gives 50% short and 50% tall genotype
B. TT and Tt are both genotypes for the homozygous recessive phenotype
C. TT is the dominant phenotype, and tall plants is the resulting genotype
D. TT and Tt are both genotypes for the tall plant phenotype

Answer 1

In Mendelian inheritance, the correct statement in terms of phenotype and genotype is that TT and Tt are both genotypes for the tall plant phenotype.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Mendelian inheritance, the dominant allele is for tall plants and the recessive allele is for short plants. The correct statement in terms of phenotype and genotype is option D: TT and Tt are both genotypes for the tall plant phenotype.
