In pea plants, tall (T) is dominant over short (t). Cross a homozygous tall pea plant with a homozygous short pea plant.
1. What are the genotypes of the parent plants?
2. Draw a Punnett square for this cross.
3. What is the phenotypic ratio of the offspring?
4. What is the genotypic ratio of the offspring?
Indicate whether each statement is True or False.
1. A recessive allele will always be expressed if present in the genotype.
True
