Tomato plants usually have hairy stems. Hairless stems are present in tomato plants that are homozygous recessive for the trait. If the stem characteristics are determined by a single gene, what is the expected percent chance of having hairy stems if crossing two tomato plants that are heterozygous for hairy stems?
