Hello Student

When the tall and dwarf plant produces gametes, by the process of meiosis the alleles of the parental pair segregate from each other and the only one allele is transmitted to a gamete. The Segregation of alleles is a random process and thus, there is 50 % chance of a gamete cantaining either alleles.
