The offspring in the first column both have two dominant T alleles. Therefore, you know that the father (parent on the left hand side) is TT and the mother (parent on the top) has a dominant T in that column too. The offspring in the second column are Tt. The dominant T came from the father, as figured out in the first part of the problem. The recessive allele t came from mother's second empty box.

Examples of non-inherited traits include table manners, greeting customs, a preference for certain types of foods, and parenting skills.
