Answer and Explanation:

Hello. I believe you want to know the result of a cross between a tall pea plant and a low pea plant. Well, to visualize the cross between these two plants, it is necessary to know which characteristics have the dominant and recessive alleles, as you did not mention, let's assume that the high plant has the dominant characteristic that will be represented by the "TT" alleles, while the low pea plant will have the recessive characteristic, represented by the "tt" allele.

A dominant characteristic is one that has dominant alleles in its composition. These alleles are represented by capital letters and signify the genes that determine a characteristic. The characteristic of a dominant allele will always be seen in the offspring of a cross, as long as that allele appears in hom0zygosis (two dominant alleles as "TT") or hetorozygosis (a dominant allele and a recessive allele as "Tt"). The characteristic of the recessive allele, on the other hand, will only be seen in the offspring of a cross, if it is presented in hom0zygosis (two recessive alleles as "tt").

In the figure that is attached below, you can see how a high pea plant (TT) crosses with a low pea plant (tt). This crossing is done by combining each allele of the tall plant with each allele of the plant, which resulted in a completely heterozygous offspring, with the "Tt" alleles. As mentioned above, the recessive characteristic only appears if there are two recessive alleles. In this case, we can consider that the entire offspring were tall pea plants, since all plants have the dominant allele.
