When a Tall plant (Tt) in pea is crossed with an other Tall plant (Tt), the probability of obtaining a dwarf plant is
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.
