In a particular plant, two genes control height and flower color. Tall height (T) is dominant to short height (t). Yellow flowers (Y) are dominant to white flowers (y). A tall, yellow-flowered plant is mated with a short, white-flowered plant. What are the genotypes of the plants involved in this cross?

    T_Y_ * ttyyTall Yellow plant, It may be = TTYY (homozygous dominant), or TtYy (heterozygous dominant). Short, white plant is = ttyy (homozygous recessive).

    Explanation:

    Given:

    Tall = T,

    short = t

    T is dominant on t,

    yellow = Y

    white = y,

    Y is dominant on y.

    Cross between Tall Yellow plant, It may be = TTYY (homozygous dominant), or TtYy (heterozygous dominant).

    Short, white plant is = ttyy (homozygous recessive).
