Answer 1

Since Plant A is homozygous tall (TT), it is likely that it will be the tallest plant. Plant B is heterozygous tall (Tt), meaning it carries one allele for tallness and one allele for shortness. Plant C is heterozygous tall (Tt) as well. Both Plant B and Plant C have the potential to be the same height, as they both carry one allele for tallness and one allele for shortness. Therefore, the most reasonable prediction is that Plant B and Plant C will have similar heights.
