You identify a gene that determines the size of the pods of a pea plant. To study the phenotype associated with this trait, you cross a plant that is homozygous for the “long pod” allele with a pea plant that is homozygote for “short pod” allele. When measuring the length of the pods of the parents and resulting offspring, you obtain the following data:PlantLength (cm)Homozygous (“Wide” allele) 15 cmHomozygous (“Short” allele) 4 cmResulting cross breed 9 cmWhat can you conclude about this phenotype/trait? Long and short alleles are codominant Wide allele shows incomplete dominance over the short allele Wide allele shows complete dominance over the short allele Short allele shows complete dominance over the long allele The wide and short genes are linked

Question

You identify a gene that determines the size of the pods of a pea plant. To study the phenotype associated with this trait, you cross a plant that is homozygous for the “long pod” allele with a pea plant that is homozygote for “short pod” allele. When measuring the length of the pods of the parents and resulting offspring, you obtain the following data:

Plant	Length (cm)
Homozygous (“Wide” allele)	15 cm
Homozygous (“Short” allele)	4 cm
Resulting cross breed	9 cm

What can you conclude about this phenotype/trait?

	Long and short alleles are codominant
	Wide allele shows incomplete dominance over the short allele
	Wide allele shows complete dominance over the short allele
	Short allele shows complete dominance over the long allele
	The wide and short genes are linked
