I need help with a Biology question please. I will give a medal. If Tall is Dominant to short in plants and Yellow is Dominant to green, what are the possible genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring of a heterozygous tall, yellow plant and a short green plant? Also, add a explanation to your answer.
@blues
Um.
One sec its easy give me a sec.
lol, stealing my profile pic?
nah I looked it up on google I looked up rubric cube and this one was the best png.
*Rubik's cube
@coacoapuffprincess are you able to help me?
Yes
Okay, and can you explain how you get your answer?
uh idk |dw:1480967738889:dw|
First make up some notation for the alleles, say \(\mathrm{T}=\text{tall}\) and \(\mathrm Y=\text{yellow}\), and lowercase for the recessive counterparts. Heterozygous for tall and yellow means the genotype of one parent is \(\mathrm{TtYy}\). The other parent is short and green, which means it's homozygous for both loci and the genotype is \(\mathrm{ttyy}\). The question's asking about the possible geno-/phenotypes, but do you have to include the actual ratios or just list the possible ones?
