To determine the probability of short offspring when crossing a short pea plant (genotype **tt**) with a tall, heterozygous pea plant (genotype **Tt**), we can use a Punnett square.

The possible gametes from each parent are:
- Short plant (tt): produces gametes **t** and **t**
- Tall heterozygous plant (Tt): produces gametes **T** and **t**

Now, we can set up the Punnett square:

| | T | t |
|-------|-----|-----|
| **t** | Tt | tt |
| **t** | Tt | tt |

From the Punnett square, we see the possible genotypes for the offspring:
- **Tt** (tall) : 2 squares
- **tt** (short) : 2 squares

Thus, the ratios of the offspring are:
- Tall (Tt): 2 out of 4 (50%)
- Short (tt): 2 out of 4 (50%)

Therefore, the probability of producing short offspring is **50%**.

Human blood types are controlled by two non-Mendelian patterns of inheritance: **codominance and multiple alleles**.

If a person has AB blood type, the inheritance pattern demonstrated is **codominance**.
