D
Tt x tt.
Verified step by step guidance
1
Identify the genotypes involved in each cross. In this case, we have TT x tt, where 'T' represents the dominant allele and 't' represents the recessive allele.
Understand that the dominant phenotype will be expressed if at least one dominant allele (T) is present in the genotype.
For the cross TT x tt, determine the possible genotypes of the offspring. Each parent contributes one allele to the offspring.
Use a Punnett square to visualize the cross. Place the alleles from one parent (TT) on one side and the alleles from the other parent (tt) on the other side.
Fill in the Punnett square to find the genotypes of the offspring. Since all offspring will have at least one 'T' allele, they will all express the dominant phenotype.
