The correct Answer is:
To differentiate a pure tall plant from a hybrid tall plant, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Genotypes**: - A pure tall plant has the genotype **TT** (homozygous dominant). - A hybrid tall plant has the genotype **Tt** (heterozygous). 2. **Self-Pollination**: - To determine the genotype of the tall plant, we can perform self-pollination. This involves allowing the plant to fertilize itself. 3. **Analyze the Offspring**: - After self-pollination, observe the offspring plants: - If the plant is pure tall (TT), all offspring will also be tall (100% tall). - If the plant is hybrid tall (Tt), the offspring will be a mix of tall and short plants (approximately 50% tall and 50% short). 4. **Conclusion**: - If all offspring from the self-pollination are tall, we can conclude that the original plant is a pure tall plant (TT). - If there are both tall and short offspring, the original plant is a hybrid tall plant (Tt). ### Final Answer: The correct method to differentiate a pure tall plant from a hybrid tall plant is to perform self-pollination. If all offspring are tall, the plant is pure tall (TT). If there are both tall and short offspring, the plant is hybrid tall (Tt).
