Yes, a genotype of TT or ff indicates a purebred individual for a specific trait. TT signifies homozygous dominant, while ff signifies homozygous recessive.
Purebred tall plants can be crossed with purebred short plants to produce hybrid offspring with intermediate heights. This type of cross is an example of an incomplete dominance inheritance pattern where the traits from both parent plants are partially expressed in the offspring.
Purebred genotypes are those that are homozygous for a specific trait, meaning they have identical alleles for that trait. For instance, if the genotypes include AA or aa, these would be considered purebred, as both alleles are the same. In contrast, heterozygous genotypes, like Aa, are not purebred because they contain different alleles.
I think you have the question backwards, "Why isn't it possible to have more phenotypes than genotypes?" There are always more or an equal number of genotypes relative to phenotypes. The phenotype for a simple dominant/recessive interaction (for example) T for tall and t for short where TT is tall, Tt is tall and tt is short has three genotypes and two phenotypes. If T and t are co-dominant then TT would be tall, Tt would be intermediate and tt would be short. (Three phenotypes and three genotypes.)
The genotypes TT and Tt represent different combinations of alleles for a particular gene. TT is homozygous dominant, meaning it has two identical dominant alleles, while Tt is heterozygous, containing one dominant allele (T) and one recessive allele (t). This difference can affect the expression of traits, with TT typically exhibiting the dominant phenotype and Tt also showing the dominant phenotype, but potentially carrying the recessive trait.
Purebred organisms always produce offspring with the same set of traits as themselves, as they have homozygous genotypes. This makes purebred organisms predictable in terms of their physical characteristics and genetic makeup.

The tall pea plants have the phenotype of tall height. Their genotypes can vary depending on whether they are homozygous dominant (TT) or heterozygous (Tt) for the tall trait.

Firstly, if the condition is recessive, both the man and the child with the condition must have the genotype tt. The mother must have the genotype Tt. This is because if she had TT, all of the children would be Tt and not have the condition. If she were tt, she would have the condition as well. Therefore if the father has tt and the mother has Tt, the other 3 children who do not have the condition must all have the genotype Tt. So: Mother - Tt Father - tt Affected child - tt Other children - Tt
TT or Tt
both must be tt
both must be tt
Most teachers will designate the dominant gene capital letter. In Mendel's experiment he crossed purebred Tall (T) with purebred short (t). He got all Tall plants as a result. Tall purebreed genotype is TT and the resulting generation was all tall by heterozygous with a genotype of Tt.
The probability of getting the genotype Tt depends on the specific genetic cross being considered. For example, if you are crossing two heterozygous parents (Tt x Tt), the probability of obtaining Tt is 50%. If the cross involves different genotypes, such as Tt x TT or Tt x tt, the probabilities will change accordingly. To determine the exact probability, you would need to know the genotypes of the parents involved in the cross.
