The allele for tallness in pea plants is typically designated with a capital letter. In this case, the correct designation would be:
**T**
This indicates that "T" represents the dominant allele for tallness. The short allele would usually be designated as "t." Therefore, when a tall plant (which could be either TT or Tt) is crossed with a short plant (tt), the offspring can display a phenotypic ratio of tall to short plants based on the alleles inherited.
