Question

A plant with Tt genotype is tall

Which options correctly show the alleles?
(Select all that apply.)
t-allele for being tall
t-allele for being short
T-allele for being short
T-allele for being tall

Answer 1

T- tall allele

t- short allele

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given genotype Tt, the known height of the plant is tall. This means that a tall plant will be dominate over a short one.

As we know, capital letters refer to a dominant trait, whereas lowercase refers to a recessive trait; Therefore, the T would indicate the dominant trait (tall), and t would indicate the recessive trait (short)
