Eaton · Answer 1

All offspring are tall when a homozygous tall parent with homozygous short parent.

Explanation:

When we crossed homozygous tall parent with homozygous short parent, we conclude that all offspring are tall, because homozygous short parent are supressed under the homozygous tall parent, due to law of dominance.

Law of dominance states that, recessive alleles are suppressed by dominant alleles but they can appear in F2 generation.

Using a punett square, we can predict the cross between homozygous tall and homozygous short parent.

The phenotypes are: All are tall plants (4:0).
