Answer
The answer is (a) tallness is the dominant trait
Explanation:
A cross between a tall plant (TT) and a short pea plant (tt) results in the progeny that is all tall plants but with Tt genotype. In the heterozygous plants the dominant trait is expressed phenotypically. Single copy of the ‘T’ is enough to make the plant tall.
