1. There is a gene for height in a species of pea plant that we will call "T gene". We would denote the dominant allele for this gene as _____ and the recessive allele as _____. A homozygous dominant individual's genotype would be _____, a homozygous recessive individual's genotype would be _____, and a heterozygous individual's genotype would be _____.

2. If this gene for height in pea plants shows complete dominance (where the dominant allele produces a "tall" plant and the recessive allele produces a "short" plant), then heterozygous individuals will have a _____ phenotype. If two heterozygous individuals are bred together, we would expect roughly a _____ fraction of the offspring (or _____ percent) to show the same phenotype as the parents.
