The phenotype of the plant that had genotype Tt is tall.
According to "Mendelian principles" there are two categories of alleles that are involved in the formation of a new offspring. The traits can be "dominant or recessive".
In the case of the dominant alleles, a single allele is enough to express the phenotypic trait whereas, in the case of recessive alleles 2 alleles are required to express the phenotypic morphology.
