Determine the nature of the pea plant germinated from the seed produced as a result of pollination between a hybrid tall (Tt) and a pure dwarf (tt) pea plant:
(a) 100% Tall
(b) 50% Tall, 50% Dwarf
(c) 100% Dwarf

(b) 50% Tall, 50% Dwarf
Explanation
A hybrid tall plant (Tt) crossed with a pure dwarf (tt) results in a 1:1 ratio of genotypes Tt (tall) and tt (dwarf). Hence, 50% of offspring will be tall and 50% dwarf.
