5. You are handed a mystery pea plant with tall stems and axial flowers and asked to determine its genotype as quickly as possible. You know that the allele for tall stems (T) i dominant to that of the dwarf stems (t) and that allele for axial flowers (A) is dominant to that for terminal flowers (a). (a) What are all the possible genotypes of your mystery plant? (b) Describe the one cross you would do, out of your gardens, to determine the exact genotype of your mystery plant. (c ) While waiting for the results of your cross, you predict the result of each possible genotype listed in part a. How do you do this? Why is this not called "performing a cross"?
