Question 1

What gametes can a Tt pea plant produce?

The right answer is the one marked above.

Gametes carrying T and gametes carrying t, in equal numbers. Meiosis puts one chromosome of each homologous pair into each gamete, so each gamete gets one factor of the pair — never both.

Writing Tt as a gamete is the commonest mistake in this topic. A gamete is half a pair, not a pair.
