    A. Tt - Tall or Short or Both

    B. tt - Short Only

    C. TT - Tall Only

    Explanation:

    Given -

    Height of plant is controlled by a single gene.

    "T" represents tall heighted plant while "t" represents short heighted plant

    Considering "t" is a recessive allele and "T" is a dominant allele.

    Thus,

    a) Tall Only means that both the alleles in the genotype would be "TT"

    b) Short Only means that both the alleles in the genotype would be "tt"

    c) Tall or Short or Both means that the genotype has one "T" and another "t" allele, represneted by "Tt"

    Thus,

    A. Tt - Tall or Short or Both

    B. tt - Short Only

    C. TT - Tall Only
