The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the genetic cross between a homozygous tall plant and a homozygous dwarf plant. Let's break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Identify the Genotypes of the Parents - The homozygous tall plant has the genotype **TT** (where "T" represents the tall allele). - The homozygous dwarf plant has the genotype **tt** (where "t" represents the dwarf allele). ### Step 2: Determine the Gametes Produced by Each Parent - The tall plant (TT) can only produce gametes with the allele **T**. - The dwarf plant (tt) can only produce gametes with the allele **t**. ### Step 3: Set Up the Punnett Square We can set up a Punnett square to visualize the possible offspring from this cross: ``` T | T --------------------- t | Tt | Tt --------------------- t | Tt | Tt ``` ### Step 4: Analyze the Offspring Genotypes From the Punnett square, we see that all offspring will have the genotype **Tt**. ### Step 5: Determine the Phenotype of the Offspring Since **T** (tall) is dominant over **t** (dwarf), all offspring with the genotype **Tt** will exhibit the tall phenotype. ### Conclusion Thus, when a homozygous tall plant is crossed with a homozygous dwarf plant, all the offspring will be tall. ### Final Answer The offspring will be **all tall plants**. ---
