A heterozygous genotype
These are letters assigned to alleles or variations in genes. TT means that there are two dominate alleles. Tt means that there is one dominate and one recessive and tt means that both are recessive.
Genetics Tt and TT are examples of genotypes, which represent the combination of alleles (T and t) that an organism carries for a particular trait. In this case, T represents the dominant allele and t represents the recessive allele. TT is a homozygous dominant genotype, while Tt is a heterozygous genotype.
Tall = T short = t Tall plants genotype would either be TT or Tt, and short plants genotype would be tt.
An organism with two genes or alleles, such as TT or tt, is said to be homozygous for a particular trait. In this case, TT represents a homozygous dominant genotype, while tt represents a homozygous recessive genotype. These genotypes can influence the organism's phenotype, or observable characteristics, depending on the dominance of the alleles involved. For example, if T is dominant over t, the phenotype of TT and Tt would be the same, while tt would have a different phenotype.
For example, if the tall plant stand for T, the genotypes are: TT tt
In a typical monohybrid cross involving two heterozygous parents (Tt x Tt), the F2 generation would have a genotype ratio of 1:2:1 for TT, Tt, and tt respectively. This means that 25% of the F2 generation would have the genotype tt. Thus, the percentage of the F2 generation with the genotype tt is 25%.

Tt is a genotype. Each letter is called an allele and represents a different trait. For instance, the T could stand for tall, and the t could stand for short. Because the T is a capital letter, it is the dominant trait. In the case of Tt, the person would be tall. If the genotype was TT, the person would again be tall. If the genotype was tt, the person would be short. All traits are represented by two or more alleles. Things like blood type are represented by multiple alleles.
In genetics, "tt" represents a homozygous recessive genotype for a specific trait, where both alleles for that trait are recessive. This means that the individual will express the recessive phenotype associated with that trait, as there are no dominant alleles present to mask the effect. For example, if "t" represents a trait for short height in plants, a plant with the genotype "tt" would be short.
An organism's allele pairs, such as TT, tt, or Tt, represent its genotype. The genotype refers to the specific genetic makeup of an organism, including the alleles it carries. In contrast, phenotype refers to the observable traits or characteristics that result from the interaction of the genotype with the environment.
A tall looking pea plant can have a genotype of Tt or TT.
Genotype TT is called a homozygous genotype. The TT indicates identical alleles, and the capital letters represent their dominant trait.
