No, the short pea trait is recessive and the tall pea plant trait is dominant. This means that if the plant is a hybrid, it has to be a tall pea plant. The dominant traits "mask" the recessive traits. The plant take one trait from their mom and one from their dad. If either the mom or the dad was not a tall, not hybrid pea plant then their kids would have to be tall be cause they would have one dominant, tall trait

A pure tall plant refers to one that has been consistently bred with other tall plants of the same variety to maintain its tall characteristics. A hybrid tall plant, on the other hand, results from cross-breeding two different varieties of plants to create a new plant with varying characteristics, such as height.
Really, there is no set letter for any allele. It is common, however, to use the first letter of the dominant allele. Since tall height is dominant over short height in pea plants, then the allele for short would be the t (a lowercase t).
the tall plant must be heterozygous
TT or Tt

Yes. It can.
No, the short pea trait is recessive and the tall pea plant trait is dominant. This means that if the plant is a hybrid, it has to be a tall pea plant. The dominant traits "mask" the recessive traits. The plant take one trait from their mom and one from their dad. If either the mom or the dad was not a tall, not hybrid pea plant then their kids would have to be tall be cause they would have one dominant, tall trait
This was an example of tallness being a dominant phenotypic trait in pea plants
In pea plants, the allele for tall stems is typically represented by the uppercase letter "T," while the allele for short stems is represented by the lowercase letter "t." A hybrid tall pea plant, which has one allele for tallness and one for shortness, would be represented as "Tt." This genotype indicates that the plant will exhibit the dominant tall phenotype due to the presence of the dominant "T" allele.
Pure TraitsPure traits can be either recessive or dominant. Pure traits may have two dominant genes or two recessive genes. For example, a pea plant may have two genes for tallness, which is dominant trait in pea plants. This plant is homozygous plant with a pure dominant trait for tallness. All of the offspring from this plant will be tall. A pea plant with two genes for shortness is also a pure organism. However, shortness in pea plants is a recessive trait. This plant is a homozygous plant with a pure recessive trait for height. The offspring from this plant will be short if it pollinates with another plant that has two genes for shortness. If this plant pollinates with a tall pea plant, the tall dominant gene will mask or cover up the recessive gene for shortness. Both plants are homozygous or pure plants; one is a pure dominant pea plant, the other is a pure recessive pea plant.Hybrid TraitOrganisms that have two unlike genes for a certain trait are called hybrid. A pea plant with one recessive gene for shortness and one dominant gene for tallness is a hybrid for that trait. A hybrid is called heterozygous, as it has two different alleles. The offspring from a pure tall pea plant, cross-pollinated with a pure short pea plant, will result in a heterozygous plant for tallness. No organism has all dominant or all recessive genes. An organism may be pure in certain traits and hybrid others. Remember, that a dominant trait in one kind of organism may be a recessive trait in another organism.

A pure tall plant refers to one that has been consistently bred with other tall plants of the same variety to maintain its tall characteristics. A hybrid tall plant, on the other hand, results from cross-breeding two different varieties of plants to create a new plant with varying characteristics, such as height.
An allele for tall in a hybrid pea plant represents the gene that codes for the trait of tall height. In the case of a hybrid plant, there are two alleles for height, one inherited from each parent. If both alleles are for tall height (TT or Tt), the plant will exhibit the tall trait.
The percentage of pea plants with short stems is 25%. This is calculated by taking the number of pea plants with short stems (20) divided by the total number of pea plants (80) and then multiplied by 100%.
