Genotype can be described as the genetic constitution present in an organism. Phenotype can be described as the physical characteristics which appear in an organism.

The following symbol representation and phenotypes might arise as a result of these genotypes:

A) homozygous dominant: The symbol representation will be TT, the phenotype will be tall plants.

B) Heterozygous: The symbol representation will be Tt, the phenotype will be tall plants.

C) Homozygous recessive: The symbol representation will be tt, the phenotype will be short plants.
