In pea plants, height is determined by an allele for tallness (t) that is dominant over an allele for shortness (t). what is the probability that a gamete, selected at random, would carry the short allele (t) in a cross of heterozygous tall pea plants?

Ans.

Heterozygous organisms show presence of two alternatives alleles for same trait. For plant height, a heterozygous tall plant, will show both the T (for tallness) and t (for shortness) alleles, as T allele is dominant over t allele. When a cross is made between heterozygous tall plants (Tt), there are 50% chances that a randomly selected allele will carry allele for shortness (t) as shown below:

Thus, "the probability that a randomly selected gamete will carry 't' allele in a cross between heterozygous tall pea plants, is 1/2."

humans can cause extinction of a species through overharvesting, pollution, habitat destruction, introduction of invasive species (such as new predators and food competitors), overhunting, and other influences. explosive, unsustainable human population growth is an essential cause of the extinction crisis.
