Question

Tall is dominant to dwarf in pea plants. if two dwarf pea plants were crossed, their offspring will be:___.

Answer 1

Answer: a dwarf pea plant

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

All dwarf pea plants.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tall is the dominant trait in pea plants. In this case, let:

- Dominant trait be denoted by T.

- Recessive trait be denoted by t.

If the dominant trait is to show, then it implies that it is either:

TT (dominant trait only).

Tt (dominant trait showing but carrying recessive trait).

tt (recessive trait only).

In this case, it is stated that there are two dwarf peas, meaning that their parent traits will be tt & tt.

This makes their offspring:

`\left[\begin{array}{ccc}&t&t\\t&tt&tt\\t&tt&tt\end{array}\right]`

All offspring will be dwarf plants with no tall traits.
