I'm having trouble grasping this concept. Can someone help?
Let's say that T=Dominant gene for tallness, and t=recessive gene for tallness.
T+t=Tall plant
t+t=short plant.
Does that mean if there are two dominant genes for the same trait, it will be tall?
Basically, would T+T=Tall?
if i remember correctly (IT'S BEEN SO DAMN LONG SINCE I STUDIED THIS! LOL!), if there is a dominant gene in the mix, it will take on the trait of the dominant and not the recessive gene and only in the absence of a dominant gene will it take on the trait of the recessive gene(s). so yes, t+t = short, T=t = tall, T+T = tall. but don't take my word for it. i barely remember this shit lol.
