A. 1/4

B. 1/2

C. 1/9

D. 1/16

Answer: Option A

Solution(By Examveda Team)

When a Tall plant (Tt) in a pea is crossed with another Tall plant (Tt), the probability of obtaining a dwarf plant is 1/4.
When Tt × Tt, the ratio of progeny formed will be 1 Homozygous tall (TT), 2 heterozygous tall (Tt), and 1 homozygous dwarf (tt).
Therefore, the probability of dwarf plants will be 1/4.
