a)the difference between tall and short stature in these line is controlled by a single gene pair.
b)during production of gametes in F1 plants, the tall and short alleles segregate from eachother equallyinto the gametes
c) the tall and short assort independentedly from eachother
d)fertilization occure randomly between gametes carrying tall and short alleles
