Biology - Punnett Squares

In pea plants, the tall allele is dominant to the short allele. What key would demonstrate this?

• Tall = T
  Short = S
• Tall = T
  Short = t
• Tall = t
  Short = T
• Tall = TT
  Short = tt

Traits that cover over, or dominate another form of that trait. Always shows up in the phenotype, even when only one is present. 

• Inherited Traits
• Acquired Traits
• Recessive trait
• Dominant trait

Traits that are covered over, or dominated, by another form of that trait and seem to disappear. Only shows up in the phenotype if there are two of these alleles present. 

• Dominant trait
• Recessive trait
• Inherited trait
• Acquired trait

What are the possible genotypes for this cross?

• TT = 25% Tt= 50% tt=25%
• all tall
• TT= 75% tt = 25%
• Tt = 100%
