Question

based on the punnett square, what is the phenotype of the offspring?
hh
hh
tall
short

Explanation:

Phenotype refers to the observable physical characteristic. In genetics, if \(H\) represents the dominant allele (e.g., for tallness) and \(h\) the recessive (e.g., for shortness), \(Hh\) (heterozygous) shows the dominant phenotype. The Punnett square shows all offspring are \(Hh\), so they show the dominant trait (tall if \(H\) is for tall). \(Hh\) and \(HH\) are genotypes. Since no \(hh\) (recessive phenotype, short if \(h\) is for short) is present, short is incorrect.

Answer:

C. tall
