If t is the gene for tall plants, and t is the gene for short plants, what is the genotype for a short plant? a) tt b) tt c) tt d) t

The genotype for short plants is generally tt

Option C

Explanation:

According to Mendelian Genetics the tall is a dominant character and short is a recessive character. There are a set of alleles that get expressed to determine each character.

These alleles are in pairs, hence for a tall plant its phenotype is tall even if its genotype is TT or Tt a single allele is enough to express the tallness whereas for a short plant both alleles should be t since it is a recessive character.
