(C) When a homozygous tall plant $(TT)$ is crossed with a homozygous short plant $(tt)$,all the $F_1$ generation offspring possess the genotype $(Tt)$.Since the allele for tallness $(T)$ is dominant over the allele for shortness $(t)$,the phenotype of all $F_1$ progeny is tall.This demonstrates the Law of Dominance,which states that in a heterozygote,one trait will conceal the presence of another trait for the same characteristic.
