Question

In a Mendelian cross between two heterozygous pea plants (Tt x Tt), where "T" is the dominant allele for tall plants and "t" is the recessive allele for short plants, what is the probability of obtaining a short plant?

• A. \( 0 \)
• B. \( \frac{1}{4} \)
• C. \( \frac{1}{2} \)
• D. \( 1 \)

Hint:

In a Mendelian monohybrid cross, the possible genotypes and phenotypes can be predicted using a Punnett square. For a recessive trait to be expressed, the individual must be homozygous recessive (tt).
