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 is Tt
B. The phenotype for height is tall, and the genotype is Tt
C. The phenotype , and the genotype is Tt
D. The phenotype four height is tall, and the genotype is TT
A pea plant with two different alleles for height will have one dominant allele (T) and one recessive allele (t). Since the dominant allele determines the phenotype when paired with a recessive allele, the pea plant will indeed be tall. As for the genotype, it will be heterozygous, which is represented as Tt.
The correct statement about the pea plant is therefore:
B. The phenotype for height is tall, and the genotype is Tt
