    The answer is E) 0.

    If:

    A - dominant allele,

    a - recessive allele,

    then:

    AA - dominant homozygous (tall),

    aa - recessive homozygous (short),

    Aa - heterozygous (tall).

    A heterozygous plant (Aa) is crossed with a homozygous tall plant (AA):

    Parental generation: Aa x AA

    F1 generation: AA AA Aa Aa

    All of the offspring is tall (AA or Aa), since tall is dominant to short.

    There is no chance for offspring to be short (aa).
