I think not as tall is the dominant allele here.

T = tall

t = short

TT X tt

all would be

Tt

======and tall.

Because a tall trait is dominant over a short trait and because they were true breed all the off springs were tall

Yes. Each plant received an allele for tall height and an allele for short height. Because the allele for tall height is dominant, all of the offspring were tall.

Why were all the offsprins purple when gregor menel crossed true breeding purple flowered plants with true breeding white flowered plants?

All the offspring were purple because Mendel was dealing with simple genetic dominance. The purple true breeding parent was homozygous dominant and the true breeding white parent was homozygous recessive. When those two are crossed they create only heterozygous offspring (look up a punnett) and since this is simple dominance those heterozygous will show the phenotype of the dominant allele which is purple.


What did Gregor Mendel do study different characteristics in his genetics experiments?

Gregor Mendel took two true-breeding plants with contrasting traits and cross-pollinated them, producing offspring with genes for both characteristics. He used selective breeding.
