An offspring of plants with different expressions of the same trait is referred to as a hybrid. This occurs when two parent plants, each exhibiting distinct variations of a particular trait (such as flower color or leaf shape), are crossed. The resulting hybrid may express a combination of these traits or exhibit a dominant trait, depending on the genetic interactions involved. This process is commonly used in plant breeding to enhance desirable characteristics.
All the offspring were tall plants. This is because the tall trait is dominant over the short trait in Mendel's experiments on pea plants.
If parents supply different alleles for a certain trait to their offspring, the offspring are described as heterozygous for that trait. This means they possess two different alleles, one inherited from each parent. In contrast, if the offspring received the same allele from both parents, they would be termed homozygous for that trait. The expression of the trait may depend on whether the alleles are dominant or recessive.
When a plant self-pollinates and all offspring have the same trait as the parent, it is called homozygous. This means that the offspring have inherited identical alleles for that specific trait from both parent plants.

Mendel referred to the trait that appeared in all of his first-generation plants as the "dominant" trait. In his experiments with pea plants, he observed that when he crossed different varieties, one trait would consistently manifest in the offspring, overshadowing the other trait, which he termed "recessive." This foundational concept established the basis for understanding inheritance patterns in genetics.
Each time Mendel studied a trait, he crossed two plants with different expressions of the trait and found that the new plants all looked like one of the two parents. He called these new plants hybrids because they received different genetic information, or different alleles, for a trait from each parent.
All the offspring were tall plants. This is because the tall trait is dominant over the short trait in Mendel's experiments on pea plants.
If one trait is dominant over the other, then you would expect all of the offspring to have the dominant trait.
If parents supply different alleles for a certain trait to their offspring, the offspring are described as heterozygous for that trait. This means they possess two different alleles, one inherited from each parent. In contrast, if the offspring received the same allele from both parents, they would be termed homozygous for that trait.

The offspring of two true-breeding plants is also true-breeding, meaning they will consistently display the same traits as the parents. This is because true-breeding plants are homozygous for a particular trait, so when they are crossed, their offspring will also be homozygous for that trait.
When Tt plants (heterozygous for a trait) are pollinated, they can produce offspring with the genotypes TT, Tt, and tt. This follows the principles of Mendelian genetics, where the expected phenotypic ratio among the offspring would be 3:1 for dominant to recessive traits. Therefore, about 75% of the offspring will exhibit the dominant trait, while 25% will display the recessive trait.
