If Dwarf pea plant was treated with gibberellic acid , it grew as tall as the pure tall pea plant. If this treated plant is crossed with a pure tall plant then the phenotypic ratio is likely to be
(a)All dwarf
(b)50% dwarf 50% tall
(c)75% tall 25% dwarf
(d)All tall
My doubt is whether gibberlic acid alters the genotype of the organism ?

Yes Right...Shyam & Pravallika..it can not change genotype...only phenotype.
