GPT-4o mini · Answer

In pea plants, the allele for tall height (T) is dominant over the allele for short height (t). A plant with two different alleles for height would have the genotype Tt. Since T is dominant, the phenotype (observable characteristic) of a plant with genotype Tt would be tall.

Therefore, the correct statement is:

The phenotype for height is tall, and the genotype is Tt.
