Use the table to answer the question.
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
Based on the table, we can see that Plant A is homozygous tall (TT), Plant B is homozygous short (tt), and Plant C is heterozygous tall (Tt).
Since Plant A is homozygous tall, it is highly likely that it will be the tallest plant out of the three.
On the other hand, Plant B is homozygous short, so it is highly likely that it will be the shortest plant out of the three.
Plant C is heterozygous tall, so it is expected to be tall, but not as tall as Plant A. Thus, Plant A will most likely be the tallest, Plant B will most likely be the shortest, and Plant C and Plant A will have similar heights.
Therefore, the most reasonable prediction about the three plants is "Plant A will be the tallest."
