Answer:

Both parents have a genotype of Tt

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the genotype for tall is T and the genotype of short is t

When the plants are crossed, it looks a little like this:

I T I t I

I T I TT I Tt I

I t I Tt I tt I

The lower case tt represents the dwarf plants

Hope this helps :)
