In a cross between a homozygous tall plant (TT) and a homozygous short plant (tt

In a cross between a homozygous tall plant (TT) and a homozygous short plant (tt), what will be the genotype of the F1 generation? (2019)

In a cross between a homozygous tall plant (TT) and a homozygous short plant (tt), what will be the genotype of the F1 generation? (2019)

Step 1: Identify the genotypes of the parent plants. One parent is homozygous tall (TT) and the other is homozygous short (tt).
Step 2: Understand that 'homozygous' means both alleles are the same. 'TT' means both alleles are tall, and 'tt' means both alleles are short.
Step 3: When these two plants are crossed, each parent contributes one allele to the offspring.
Step 4: The tall parent (TT) can only contribute a 'T' allele.
Step 5: The short parent (tt) can only contribute a 't' allele.
Step 6: Combine the alleles from both parents. The offspring will have one 'T' from the tall parent and one 't' from the short parent.
Step 7: The resulting genotype of the F1 generation will be 'Tt', which means all offspring will be heterozygous.
