(T) represents tall and (t) represents dwarf stem lengths in a plant.
There is a breeding between two heterogygous tall plants ( Tt * Tt).
This results in 75 percent being tall and 25 percent being dwarf.

If 4 plants grew up during this breeding, it is possible for all the offspring to be all dwarfs?
I want to know if there is a chance they all could all be dwarfs, even if it is very rare.

A pure breeding tall plant with smooth seeds was crossed with a pure breeding short plant with wrinkled seeds. All the F1 plants were tall with smooth seeds. Two of these F1 plants were crossed and four different phenotypes were obtained in the 320 plants produced. How many tall plants with wrinkled seeds should you expect to find.

A true-breeding plant with red flowers was crossed with a true-breeding plant with white flowers. The F1 progeny all had a new flower color, pink. The F1 plants were inter-crossed, and produced 44 red, 135 pink, and 61 white flower plants. (4 pts.) What is the most likely mode of inheritance being exhibited in these phenotypes. State your hypothesis and provide your reasoning, which can also include why other modes of inheritance are unlikely (process of elimination). Do not assign...

You mate a male from a true-breeding strain of dwarf mice to a female from a true-breeding normal-sized strain. The F1 mice are all normal in size. What would the phenotypes of the F1 and F2 mice be in the reciprocal of the above cross if the dwarf character is caused by a mitochondrial genome defect?

A true breeding swan flower plant with smooth petals is crossed with a true breeding swan flower plant with constricted petals. The offspring of this cross all have smooth petals. This indicates that 1) the offspring do not have a constricted allele in their genotype 2) smooth petals are dominant and constricted petals are recessive 3)constricted and smooth petals are not controlled by alleles 4) the F2 generation will have all smooth petals 5) constricted petals are dominant and smooth...

1. Use a Punnett’s squares to show a monohybrid cross between pure breeding parents of tall (T) and dwarf (t) pea plants. The tall trait is dominant and thus is represented by the uppercase letter “T”. The dwarf trait is recessive and is represented by to lowercase letter “t”. 2. You have a pea plant with purple flowers but you are unsure of it’s genotype. Since purple flowers is the dominate trait (P), while the recessive trait is white flowers...
