Apea plant that is heterozygous for the y’all phenotype can produce short offspring when self pollinating. which of the following explains why this occurs

"A pea plant that is heterozygous for the tall phenotype can produce short offspring when self pollinating. Which of the following explains why this occurs "

The plant carries an allele for the short phenotype, which is recessive

Explanation:

Although we do not have the options, we can explain why this occurs as follows:

If the genotype of the peaplant is Tt, where T is the dominant tall allele, and t is the recessive short allele.

A punnet square of the cross is shown.

The possible genotypes are TT (25%), Tt (50%) or tt (25). TT and Tt genotypes would produce tall plants, tt genotypes would produce short plants. Therefore, it is possible for a heterozygous tall plant to produce short plants.

a = p(1 + rt) . . account balance after time t at rate r starting with principal p

3000 = 2500(1 + 0.0202t) . . filling in the given numbers

1.2 = 1 + 0.0202t . . divide by 2500

0.2 = 0.0202t . . . subtract 1

0.2/0.0202 = t ≈ 9.901

it will take about 9.9 years for the account balance to reach $3000.
