Question

Use the table to answer the question.

Plant A: tt
Plant B: TT
Plant C: 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 B and Plant C will have similar heights.

Plant C will be the shortest

Plant A and Plant C will have similar heights.

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Based on the information provided, the most reasonable prediction is that Plant B will be the tallest. This is because Plant B has the genotype TT, which means it has two dominant alleles for height. Plant A, on the other hand, has the genotype tt, which means it has two recessive alleles for height. Plant C has the genotype Tt, which means it has one dominant allele and one recessive allele for height. Since the dominant allele for height is typically associated with tall plants and the recessive allele is associated with short plants, it is likely that Plant B, with two dominant alleles, will be the tallest.
