Question

During his first set of experiments, Mendel crossed true-breeding plants that

expressed different versions of a studied trait. For example, he crossed tall
plants with short plants. Based on his results, he said the tall plants exhibited
the dominant form of the trait, plant height. Which of the following best
describes the F1 offspring of this cross?
O A. All were tall.
O B. About 25% were short.
C. All were short.
D. About 25% were tall.

Answer 1

Answer:d

Step-by-step explanation:

it is right

Answer 2

Answer: A. All were tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

True-breeding plants are plants with completely dominant or recessive genotypes (TT (tall) and tt (short), for this example). He crossed one tall plant with genotype TT with a short plant with genotype tt. Set up a Punnett square with parents TT and tt.

All offspring will have the genotype Tt. T is dominant, so only one copy of it is needed for a plant to be tall. All of the offspring have one copy of T, so they're all tall.
