The gene for tallness (T) is dominant over the gene for
shortness (t) in pea plants. A homozygous dominant pea
plant is crossed with a heterozygous pea plant, and 200
seeds are produced. Approximately how many of these seeds
can be expected to produce plants that are homozygous
dominant?

Answer / vishal agrawal

when a homozygous tall (TT) is crossed with heterozygous
tall (Tt) they will segregate in ratio of 1:1. Thus there
would be nearly 100 seeds of each type. thus the no. of
seeds for homozygous dominant would be 100.

In hogs a gene that produces a white belt around the animal's body is dominant over its allele for a uniform body. Another independent dominant gene produces fusion of the hoof (syndactyly). Suppose a uniformly colored hog homozygous for syndactyly is mated with a normal footed hog homozygous for the belted character. What would be the phenotype of the F1? If the F1's interbreed, what would be the phenotypic ratio of the F2?
