Genetic composition of an individuals is known as In a true breeding, tall or dwarf pea variety the
genotype for example-TT and tt are called the allelic pair of genes for height are identical or
genotype of the plant while the descriptive terms tall homozygous, TT and tt, respectively
and dwarf are the phenotype.

2. (2) NCERT Pg. No-72
NCERT Pg. No-72
If TT and tt are called the genotype of the plant
Genes which code for a pair of contrasting traits are while the descriptive terms tall and dwarf are the
known as alleles, i.e., they are slightly different phenotype. So phenotype depends on genotype and
forms of the same gene. environmental factor.

There are four genotypes of gametes (four types of
pollen and four types of eggs). The four types are
RY, Ry, rY and ry each with a frequency of 25 per
