Question

POSSIBLE POINTS: 1

Two plants are crossed, and the traits of height and color are assessed in the offspring. The following cross was conducted: TTPP x ttpp. Which of the
following choices correctly describes the offspring?
T = dominant allele for height, tall plant
t = recessive allele for height, short plant
P = dominant allele for color, purple
p = recessive allele for color, white

O All are tall and purple
O Three-quarters of the plants are short and white
All are short and white
Three-quarters of the plants are tall and purple

Answer 1

A. All are tall and purple

Step-by-step explanation:

When you set up a punnet square, all of the results would be TtPp.

When a dominant trait is present, it preceeds over the recessive trait. (Also it depends on what genotypes are given. Ex: In flowers if they gave RR shows red, Rw shows pink, and ww shows white, but that's not the case here given that there are only 2 genotypes).

So to break it down:

Tt -> tall plant

Pp -> purple plant

so they are all tall and purple.
