Question

Punnett Squares:Question 1

What would be the phenotype of a cross between a homozygous
dominant tall plant and a homozygous recessive short plant?
Select one:
O 100% tall
100% short
O 25% short, 75% tall
O
50% short, 50% tall

Answer 1

The phenotype of the cross between a homozygous dominant tall plant and a homozygous recessive short plant is 100% tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a homozygous dominant tall plant is crossed with a homozygous recessive short plant, the phenotype of the offspring will be 100% tall. This is because the dominant allele for tallness masks the presence of the recessive allele for shortness. The genotype of the offspring will be heterozygous for tallness.
