Q.

A cross between a tall plant (TT) and short pea plant (tt) resulted in progeny that were all tall plants because:

1 Tallness is the dominant trait  
2 Shortness is the dominant trait  
3 Tallness is the recessive trait  
4 Height of pea plant is not governed by gene ‘T’ or ‘t’  

Ans.

When two traits of a character are crossed, the  F plants only show one of the two traits, which is known as the dominant trait. The recessive trait (dwarfness) is a trait that does not manifest itself in the  F generation
