In pea plants height is characterized by having two alleles T(tall) and t(dwarf). Since heterozygous tall pea plant (Tt is the genotype in heterozygous) is crossed with a dwarf pea plant (tt is the genotype in dwarf). Phenotypic ratio of the crossed plants is calculated as shown in the above table.
