In tomatoes, tall (d) is dominant over dwarf (d), and smooth fruit (p) is dominant over pubescent fruit (p) which is covered with fine hairs. a farmer has two tall and smooth tomato plants, which we will call plant a and plant b. the farmer crosses plants a and b with the same dwarf and pubescent plant and obtains the following numbers of progeny:

tall (D) is dominant over dwarf (d), and smooth fruit (P) is dominant over pubescent fruit (p)

Explanation:

The genotype of tall and smooth tomato plants would be DDPP

While the genotypes of dwarf and pubescent plant would be ddpp

Given

tall (D) is dominant over dwarf (d), and

smooth fruit (P) is dominant over pubescent fruit (p)

DD PP x ddpp

Gametes would be

DP, DP , dp, dp

So all the 16 offspring would have DdPp genotype

Phenotype would be heterozygous tall and smooth

answer; the above answer to the above statement is (true)
