A pea plant with two tall genes is said to be homozygous for the tall trait, specifically represented as "TT." In genetics, homozygous means that the organism has two identical alleles for a particular trait. In this case, the plant will consistently express the tall phenotype when bred, as both alleles contribute to that characteristic.

This was an example of tallness being a dominant phenotypic trait in pea plants
A pea plant with two tall genes is called a homozygous tall plant.
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.

A tall looking pea plant can have a genotype of Tt or TT.
two tall genes or one tall gene and one short gene

i dont know about big or small, but the dominant allele for tall and short is tall (T=Tall and t=short).
