Question

use the table to answer the question. genotypes of pea plants plant a plant b plant c tt tt tt the table shows the genotypes of three pea plants for the allele for height. which prediction about the three plants is the most reasonable? (1 point) plant a will be the tallest. plant a and plant c will have similar heights. plant b and plant c will have similar heights. plant c will be the shortest.

Explanation:

In pea plants, the allele for tallness (\(T\)) is dominant over the allele for shortness (\(t\)). Plant \(A\) has the genotype \(tt\), so it will be short. Plant \(B\) has the genotype \(TT\) (homozygous dominant), and Plant \(C\) has the genotype \(Tt\) (heterozygous). Since the dominant allele \(T\) determines the tall phenotype, both \(TT\) and \(Tt\) genotypes will result in tall plants.

Answer:

Plant \(B\) and Plant \(C\) will have similar heights.
