NGSS.HS-LS1-1

the genotype "aa" would result  in a

• recessive trait
• dominant trait

T = tall, and  t = short. 
So a plant with the genotype
"Tt" would be

• medium sized
• tall
• short

characteristics, such as facial features, eye color, hair color, skin color, or height

• traits
• genes
• codes
• offspring

H = brown hair, h = red hair, 
So genotype "Hh" results in

• brown hair
• red hair
•  Brownish red hair
• Reddish brown hair

F= green, f = blue,
So genotype "Ff" results in

• green
• blue
• Bluish green
• Greenish blue
