Solution

The correct option is A

1:1


A cross between pure tall (TT) and a pure dwarf plant (tt) produces heterozygous tall (Tt) offspring. When the offspring are self-crossed, we obtain four offspring - 2 heterozygous tall (Tt), 1 pure tall (TT) and 1 pure dwarf (tt). So, the ratio between true breeding tall to true breeding dwarf is 1:1.
