A Mendelian experiment consisted of breeding tall pea plants bearing violet flowers with short pea plants bearing white flowers. The progeny all bore violet flowers, but almost half of them were short. This suggests that the genetic make-up of the tall parent can be depicted as
(a) TTWW
(b) TTww
(c) TtWW
(d) TtWw

Solution

Right answer is (c) that is the genetic make up of tall parent should be TtWW so that it crossed with the short and white plant (ttww) and produces progeny that can have all violet but 50% tall (TtWw) and 50% short plants (ttWw).
