Answer:
B
Solution:
In pea plants, the allele for tallness () is dominant over dwarfness (), and the allele for round seeds () is dominant over wrinkled seeds ().
For a plant to be tall with round seeds, its genotype must contain at least one dominant allele for both traits, which means it must be of the form .
Analyzing the given genotypes:
: Tall, wrinkled
: Tall, wrinkled
: Tall, round
: Tall, round
: Dwarf, wrinkled
: Tall, round
There are three genotypes (, , and ) that represent tall plants with round seeds.
Answer: Three
