Based on the table, Plant A has the genotype tt, Plant B has the genotype TT, and Plant C has the genotype Tt. The allele for height in pea plants follows a dominant-recessive pattern, where the T allele is dominant and the t allele is recessive. Therefore, Plant B, with the genotype TT, would be expected to have the tallest height. Plant C, with the genotype Tt, is heterozygous and would have an intermediate height. Plant A, with the genotype tt, is homozygous recessive and would be expected to have the shortest height.
Therefore, the most reasonable prediction about the three plants is that Plant A will be the shortest.
Use the table to answer the question.

Plant A Plant B Plant C
tt TT Tt
options:
Plant C will be the shortest.
Plant B and Plant C will have similar heights.
Plant A and Plant C will have similar heights.
Plant A will be the tallest.
