They inherited a T (tall) allele from the tall parent, and a t (short) allele from the short parent. This is only if we assume that both parents are homozygous, which the short parent would need to be for the short trait to show. If this is true, then the F1 generation would show the tall trait 4/4 times, and would end up with the genotype Tt 4/4 times.
one tall allele and one short allele
Mendel studied plant inheritance.
Gregor Mendel
he was famous for the pea plant
Gregor Mendel used pea plants to discover genetics and its principles.
The F1 generation of crossing a tall plant with a short plant resulted in all tall plants. This is because the tall trait is dominant and the short trait is recessive in Mendel's experiments with pea plants.
Gregor Johann Mendel.

Gregor Mendel took two different colored pea plants: one had traits for white plants and the other had traits for a red plant. When Mendel cross bred the two plants, a plant with traits for a pink plant grew. This is how Mendel contributed to the understanding of inherited traits.

Gregor Mendel studied pea plants in his experiments on heredity, which laid the foundations for modern genetics. Through careful cross-breeding experiments, Mendel discovered the principles of inheritance that are now known as Mendelian genetics.
Gregor Mendel used pea plants (Pisum sativum) to study heredity.
