Answer:When two true breeding plants breed they produce an F1 generation. The genotype for the true breeding parents would be TT and tt. Each of the offspring in the F1 generation would have the genotype of Tt and would have the phenotype of being tall, since tall is dominant. Next, we breed the plants of the F1 generation to produce the F2 generation. We know that the phenotype of the parents are both Tt. From this you can create a punnet square:
T t
T TT Tt
t Tt tt
Explanation:TT is expressed as tall
Tt is expressed as tall
tt is expressed as short
The punnet square shows you that 75% would be tall and 25% would be short.
The 200 short plants in the questions would be 25% of 800. Take the 200 away from 800 and you get approximately 600 that would be tall.
Answer:
The plant populations would be reduced

Answer and Explanation
Mendel selected a group of dwarf plants and sel pollinated them by dusting mature pollen grains onto them. He then collected the resulting seeds and planted them and noticed these seeds germinated and grew into dwarf plants only.
He also selected tall plants and self-pollinated them. the resulting seeds he observed that they grew into a micture of tall and dwarf plants. He took the seeds of tall plants only and repeated the experiments for many generations until he obtained only tall plants.
He then crossed cross-pollinated purebreeds tall garden pea with pure breed variety. He planted the seeds and observed the offsprings were all tall plants. He crossed two of these tall offsprinf from the F1 and planted the resulting seeds. the second filial generation consisted of a mixture of tall and dwarf plants.
He counted these plants and noted that the ratio of tall to dwarf was about 3:1. From this, he postulated that there are now laws governing inheritance.The law of independent assortment and law of segregation.
