Solution

The correct option is D Recessive phenotype
F2 cross T t
T TTTt
t Tt tt
Example: Tall pea plants (TT) and dwarf pea plants (tt)
On crossing homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive parents, the f1 generation produced was Tt i.e. all tall plants.
But on self-crossing the F1 plants, the plants produced are shown in the table above.So, its clearly seen that in F2, the recessive phenotype is seen, which was absent in F1
So, the correct answer is 'Recessive phenotype'
