Answer 1

The person with genes from possibility 3 will be tall with black hair.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Punnett square shows the possible combinations of genes from the parents. In possibility 3, the person will have genes for being tall (Tt) and having black hair (Bb). Since the dominant gene for height is T and the dominant gene for hair color is B, the person will be tall with black hair.
