Homozygous tall pea plants look the same as heterozygous tall pea plants. Formulate a pollination experiment to identify whether a tall pea plant is homozygous or heterozygousExplain your answer in 3-5 sentences(4 points) In simple terms
To determine whether a tall pea plant is homozygous or heterozygous, a pollination experiment using a recessive allele can be conducted. The tall pea plant can be crossed with a short pea plant to create the first generation (F1). If the F1 generation consists entirely of tall pea plants, it indicates that the tall parent plant is homozygous dominant (TT). However, if some of the F1 generation plants are short, it suggests that the tall parent plant is heterozygous (Tt). By observing the phenotypes of the offspring, we can determine the genetic makeup of the tall parent plant.
