Work out for the genotypes of the parents of the cross between a tall and a dwarf pea plant which result into about one half of the tall and one half of dwarf off-springs.

Dear student

Please refer the solution below for the said query


The possible genotype of the parents is Tt (Tall) and tt (Dwarf). The cross between the two can be represented as:


Parents           Tt           x       tt

Gametes     T, t                      t

Progeny            Tt and tt.

Hence, when Tt is crossed with tt, we obtain 1/2 Tt (tall) and 1/2 tt (dwarf) individuals in the progeny.

Hope this information clears your doubt about the topic.
