The probability that an offspring will be short in this situation is 25%.
are you sure?
I apologize, I made an error in my response. The correct answer is 25%.
In this case, a tall pea plant is represented by the dominant allele (T), while a short pea plant is represented by the recessive allele (t).
When two heterozygous (Tt) pea plants are crossed, there is a 25% chance of producing a short plant (tt), as the recessive allele only occurs when both parents contribute it to the offspring.
