(Tt) and also homozygous short (tt) plants are formed So, two different genotypic tall plants are

formed i,e TT and Tt. When mendel self pollinated F2 plants some of the tall plants produced only tall plants and other tall plants produced both tall and dwarf plants.

TT        Tt        tt   ------------ F2 generation

TT x TT           Tt  x Tt                 tt x tt ----------- F2 self cross

TT            TT               Tt                                    tt               tt -----------    F3 generation
