You get one homozygous dominant (TT), one homozygous recessive (tt), and two heterozygous (Tt).
In such a cross, the F1 plants will always be tall, because that is the dominant allele. In the cross described, a homozygous dominant plant was crossed with a homozygous recessive plant; a cross that produces 100% heterozygous offspring. (AaBbCc)
When Mendel crossed a true-breeding short plant with a true-breeding tall plant, all the offspring were tall. Which term describes the gene for tallness?
1 will be hemozygous tall TT(25%), 2 will be heterygous tall Tt(50%), and 1 will be dwarf tt.........tatal, 75% will be tall
the tall plant must be heterozygous.
An F1 x F1 cross would be a cross between heterozygous (Tt) parents. The offspring would be 1/4 TT, 1/2 Tt, and 1/4 tt. This would mean that 3/4 of the offspring would be tall, and 1/4 would be short.These offspring would be the F2 generation.

Homozygous for tall is TT Homozygous for short is tt All F1 offspring from this cross are Tt which makes them genotypically heterozygous and phenotypically tall.
The genotype of the tall pea plant is heterozygous
TT for the homozygous tall parent, tt for the homozygous short parent and Tt for the heterozygous offspring.
In such a cross, the F1 plants will always be tall, because that is the dominant allele. In the cross described, a homozygous dominant plant was crossed with a homozygous recessive plant; a cross that produces 100% heterozygous offspring. (AaBbCc)

there is a 50% chance that the offspring will be tall.

The F1 (first filial) generation is always 100% heterozygous.This is because the F1 generation is defined as the offspring of pure-breeding (homozygous) parents carrying different alleles from each other, e.g. AA x aa. All the offspring must be Aa, in other words heterozygous.
The tall plant must be heterozygous.
