In pea plants, the allele for tall height (T) is dominant over the allele for short height (t).
From the genotypes provided in the table:
- Plant A (tt) is homozygous recessive and will be short.
- Plant B (TT) is homozygous dominant and will be tall.
- Plant C (Tt) is heterozygous and will also be tall or at least tall like Plant B, but it might be shorter than Plant B depending on other factors.
Based on this information, the most reasonable prediction is:
**Plant A will be the shortest.**
This is because Plant A has the genotype (tt), which does not have any dominant allele for tallness.
