In tomato plants, the tall vine allele (T) is dominant to the short vine allele (t). Two tomato plants are crossed. Among the offspring plants grown from seed, 45% have tall vines and 55% have short vines.What are the most likely genotypes of the parent plants?

Given the offspring distribution, the most likely genotypes for the parents are Tt and tt. This cross would produce approximately 50% Tt (tall) and 50% tt (short) offspring, closely matching the observed 45% tall and 55% short.
