Answer:

hh

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that the tall gene is represented by an upper case H and the short gene by a lower case h, depending on which pea plants bred and their genotype, the phenotype will vary. Genotype is their genes and phenotype is their physical appearance. Since the tall gene is dominant though it is most likely the plant will be tall.
