Chapter 15, Problem 3TY
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The alphabets T and t indicate the alleles of a gene for pea plant height. The results of the crossing between Tt plant and tt plant can be determined by using Punnett Square. The plants having Tt combination or TT combination will be tall, and the plants having tt combination will be dwarf.
