one student want to cross pure tall plant (TT) with dwarf (TT) plant , what would be the F1 and F2 generations? explain

Refer the above attachment
Explanation:
1) When we cross between two pure
homozygous parents differing in a
single pair of contrasting character we
call it as monohybrid cross
2) Here in TT × tt we can see parents are
homozygous and differing in only one
contrasting character that is Height. Hence it is monohybrid cross
3) When parents are pure lines or
homozygous we call that breeding as
true breeding
4) During gamete formation factors
separate and only one enters in each
gamete. So pure parents produce only
one type of gamete
5) Phenotype of TT and Tt are same that
is tall while in genotype if the gamete
type differs the ratio also differs
6) For example: When we crossed in F2
generation we got TT, Tt, Tt, tt. Here we
can see phenotypes are tall and dwarf
but genotypes are TT, Tt, tt. There are
three different genotypes
7) Mendel used to performed this cross in
pea plants. In F2 generation there was
formation of two type of gametes in
equal proportion that is 50% of male
gametes with capital T and 50% with
small t while 50% of female gametes
with capital T and 50% with small t
8) Recessive character will not appear in
cross between pure line as it follows law
of dominance
Extra information:
# To find number of gametes use
2ⁿ that is 2 raise to n where n is number
of heterozygous conditions
For example
- In TT × tt
There is no heterozygous conditions
so, n= 0
While solving,
2^0 = 1
Number of gametes formed is 1
2. In Tt × Tt
n = 2 heterozygous conditions
While solving,
2² = 4
Number of gametes formed is 4
