Mendel's monohybrid cross of "Tt" parents resulted in a tall to short ratio of 3:1. This means that for every three tall offspring, there was one short offspring. This ratio is characteristic of a dominant-recessive inheritance pattern, where the dominant allele (T) masks the expression of the recessive allele (t). Since both parents were heterozygous (Tt), they each had one copy of the dominant allele and one copy of the recessive allele. Therefore, when the two parents were crossed, the offspring had a 3:1 ratio of dominant to recessive alleles, which corresponded to a 3:1 ratio of tall to short plants.
