Next we examined the phenotypes of two T2 plant lines (desig-nated as line 3-5 and line 3-11). The parental T1 plants of both 3-5 and3-11 contained homozygous deletions in the second exon of the geneencoding SP (Fig. 1a). Breeding an sp allele with a single nucleotidepolymorphism (SNP) in the coding region into tomato cultivars wasinstrumental in enabling the mechanical harvest of fruits16. Similarly,loss of SP function in S. pimpinellifolium resulted in compact plants withreduced height, reduced number of sympodial units and determinategrowth when compared with WT S. pimpinellifolium (Fig. 1b–g).
Question
Next we examined the phenotypes of two T2 plant lines (desig-nated as line 3-5 and line 3-11). The parental T1 plants of both 3-5 and3-11 contained homozygous deletions in the second exon of the geneencoding SP (Fig. 1a). Breeding an sp allele with a single nucleotidepolymorphism (SNP) in the coding region into tomato cultivars wasinstrumental in enabling the mechanical harvest of fruits16. Similarly,loss of SP function in S. pimpinellifolium resulted in compact plants withreduced height, reduced number of sympodial units and determinategrowth when compared with WT S. pimpinellifolium (Fig. 1b–g).
Solution
The text provided is discussing a study on two T2 plant lines, specifically line 3-5 and line 3-11. The parent T1 plants of both these lines had homozygous deletions in the second exon of the gene encoding SP. This is shown in Figure 1a.
The text then discusses how breeding an sp allele with a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the coding region into tomato cultivars was a key step in enabling the mechanical harvest of fruits.
The loss of SP function in S. pimpinellifolium resulted in compact plants with reduced height, fewer sympodial units, and determinate growth when compared with wild type S. pimpinellifolium. This is shown in Figure 1b-g.
The text does not provide a specific question to answer, but it seems to be discussing the effects of genetic modifications on plant growth and development.

This passage describes the leaf type trait in tomato plants:Tomato leaves come in many types, including regular leaves and potato leaves. Regular leaves are small and have jagged edges. Potato leaves are large and have smooth edges.In a group of tomato plants, some individuals have regular leaves and others have potato leaves. In this group, the gene for the leaf type trait has two alleles. The allele L is for regular leaves, and the allele l is for potato leaves.A certain tomato plant from this group has regular leaves. This plant has one allele for regular leaves and one allele for potato leaves.Based on this information, click the blue words to correct any errors in the text.This tomato plant's genotype for the leaf type trait is regular leaves.This tomato plant is heterozygous for the leaf type gene.This tomato plant's genotype for the leaf type gene is Ll.Submit
In plant, tall phenotype is dominant over dwarf phenotype, and the alleles aredesignated as T and t, respectively. Upon crossing one tall and one dwarf plant, total 250plants were obtained, out of which 124 displayed tall phenotype and rest were dwarf.Thus, the genotype of the parent plants were(a) TTX TT (b) TTx tt (c) Ttx Tt (d) Ttxt
