In a monohybrid cross between two heterozygous pea plants (Tt), what is the probability of producing a pea plant with tall stems (T-)? Scarlett and Kai are experimenting in their biology class to understand how traits are passed in pea plants. (T is dominant for tall stems, t is recessive for short stems.)

• 25%

• 50%

• 75%

• 100%

Answer explanation

The probability of producing a pea plant with tall stems (T-) in a monohybrid cross between two heterozygous pea plants is 75% because there is a 3/4 chance of getting the dominant allele for tall stems (T) in the offspring.
