Solution

The given condition is possible only when the cross is made involving a dwarf pea plant(tt) with heterozygous tall pea plant(Tt).This cross can be represented as follows:

[1] Mark for Genotype of Parental generations
[1]Mark for gametes produced by Parental generation.
[0.5] Marks for genotypes of F1 generation.
[0.5] Marks for Phenotypes of F1 generation.
