In peep plants, the Allele for tall height, T, is dominant of the Allele for short, t, a pea plant has two different alleles for height. Which statement about the pea plant is correct
A. The phenotype for height, and the genotype isTt
B. The phenotype for height is tall, and the genotype is Tt
B. The phenotype for height is tall, and the genotype is Tt
In this case, because the allele for tall height (T) is dominant over the allele for short height (t), a pea plant with two different alleles for height (heterozygous) would have one allele for tall (T) and one allele for short (t). The presence of the dominant allele (T) would determine the phenotype, thus making the plant tall. The genotype, which refers to the genetic makeup, would be Tt, indicating it has one copy of the dominant allele and one of the recessive allele.
