Question

3 for each phenotype give the genotypes that are possible for patrick. a tall head (t) is dominant to a short (t). tall = __________ short = ________ pink body color (p) is dominant to yellow (p). pink body = ________ yellow body = __________

Explanation:

Step1: Determine genotypes for height

Since tall (T) is dominant to short (t), a tall individual can have two possible genotypes. It can be homozygous dominant (TT) where both alleles are dominant, or heterozygous (Tt) where one allele is dominant and one is recessive. A short individual has two recessive alleles (tt) as the dominant allele would make it tall.
Tall: TT, Tt
Short: tt

Step2: Determine genotypes for body - color

Since pink body color (P) is dominant to yellow (p), a pink - bodied individual can be homozygous dominant (PP) or heterozygous (Pp). A yellow - bodied individual has two recessive alleles (pp) as the presence of a dominant allele would result in a pink body color.
Pink body: PP, Pp
Yellow body: pp

Answer:

Tall: TT, Tt
Short: tt
Pink body: PP, Pp
Yellow body: pp
