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 Definitions**: - A **pure tall plant** has two dominant alleles (TT). - A **hybrid tall plant** has one dominant allele and one recessive allele (Tt). 2. **Perform a Self-Pollination Test**: - Self-pollinate the pure tall plant (TT). - Self-pollinate the hybrid tall plant (Tt). 3. **Analyze the Offspring**: - For the pure tall plant (TT): - When self-pollinated (TT x TT), all offspring will be tall (100% TT). - For the hybrid tall plant (Tt): - When self-pollinated (Tt x Tt), the offspring will be: - 25% TT (tall) - 50% Tt (tall) - 25% tt (dwarf) - This results in a mix of tall and dwarf plants. 4. **Conclusion**: - If all offspring from self-pollination are tall, the original plant is a pure tall plant (TT). - If there are both tall and dwarf offspring, the original plant is a hybrid tall plant (Tt). ### Final Answer: A pure tall plant can be differentiated from a hybrid tall plant by observing the results of self-pollination. If all offspring are tall, the plant is pure tall (TT). If there are both tall and dwarf offspring, the plant is a hybrid tall (Tt). ---
