Final answer:

The phenotypic ratio of the offspring in a cross between a dwarf pea plant (homozygous recessive) and a tall pea plant (heterozygous) is 1 tall : 1 dwarf.

Step-by-step explanation:

The phenotypic ratio of the offspring in a cross between a dwarf pea plant (homozygous recessive) and a tall pea plant (heterozygous) can be predicted using a Punnett square. In this case, the phenotypic ratio of the offspring would be 1 tall : 1 dwarf.
