Question -

 A Mendelian experiment consisted of breeding tall pea plants bearing violet flowers with short pea plants bearing white flowers.



Answer -

The progeny all bore violet flowers, but almost half of them were short. This suggests that the genetic make-up of the tall parent can be depicted as
(a) TTWW
(b) TTww
(c) TtWW
(d) TtWw

Answer
Correct answer – (c)
TtWW might be the genetic makeup of the tall parent. Since half the progenies are short, this implies that the parent plant also will have a collection of short genes; all progenies bore violet flowers, further suggesting that violet color is dominant over white.
