Gregor mendel studied the inheritance of traits in pea plants. one trait he examined was the height of the plant. pea plants with the dominant 't' allele grew tall, and pea plants with the recessive allele 't' were short. according to mendel's principles of heredity, if a homozygous tall pea plant was crossed with a homozygous short pea plant, approximately how many of their offspring would have the short phenotype?

In a classic experiment using pea shape, mendel conducted two separate genetic crosses. in the first cross the parent plants were “true breeding” for pea shape; one had round peas ( r )and the other had wrinkled (r). the first cross produced a filial 1 generation of all round peas. in the second cross, mendel bred plants from the filial 1 generation. this cross produced different results. out of approximately 1000 plants, about 75% were round and 25% were wrinkled.
