Answer:

Dominant

Step-by-step explanation:

Dominant gene is the gene that dominates and expresses itself in the physical characteristics of an organism while the recessive gene isn’t expressed in the physical characteristics of the organism.

In the example above, all the plants were tall which means the gene for tallness was dominant and the gene for shortness was recessive.
