Gregor Mendel studied the inheritance of traits in pea plants. One trait he examined was the height of the plant. Pea plants with the dominant 'T' allele grew tall, and pea plants with the recessive allele 't' were short. According to Mendel's principles of heredity, if a homozygous tall pea plant was crossed with a homozygous short pea plant, approximately how many of their offspring would have the short phenotype?

As the recessive trait will not be present in the mother plant itself that has heterozygous genotype, none of the offspring will be of short height.
All the plant will be tall as they will be having Tt genotype in all of them.
The recessive trait will not be present in any of them, and they will not be short due to this.
