Question:

In a plant, red fruit (R) is dominant over yellow fruit (r) and tallness (T) is dominant over shortness (t). If a plant with RRTT genotype is crossed with a plant that is rrtt, what will be the phenotype of the offspring?

All of the offspring will be tall with red fruits

75

Solution:

In the given case, red fruit (R) is dominant over yellow fruit (r) and tallness (T) is dominant over shortness (t). A cross between RRTT and rrtt would result in all offspring having the RrTt genotype. Since R and T are dominant alleles, all offspring will exhibit both dominant phenotypes: tallness and red fruit. So, the correct answer is 'All of the offspring will be tall with red fruits'.
