Answer:
If T=tall and t=short, what will be the physical appearance of the offspring in the cross?
Explanation:
It looks like your question is incomplete, so I'll try to fill in the blanks.
The offspring will depend on the parents. Each parent will need two alleles, so each parent would have to be TT (tall), Tt (tall) or tt (short--this is the only way to have a short individual).
Here are all the possible crosses:
TT X TT = 100% TT (all tall)
TT X Tt = 50% TT, 50% Tt (all tall)
TT X tt = 100% Tt (all tall)
Tt X Tt = 25% TT (tall), 50% Tt (tall), 25% tt (short)
tt X tt = 100% tt (short)
Note that if there is a T present in the genotype (TT or Tt), that individual will be tall. The only way to produce short offspring is for the both parents to have a copy of the short allele (t).

Answer:
There are a number of mechanisms through which a bacterial cell might become resistant to a specific antibody.
- Some bacteria might posses a cell membrane which wouldn't allow the transfer of antibiotics into the cell of the bacteria. Some bacterial cells might not have the target sites on which the antibiotics attack. A bacterial cell that would be non-resistant wouldn't block the entry of the drug or it might not lack the site where the drug has to function.
- Some resistant bacteria might produce enzymes that would inactivate the activity of the antibiotics. This enzyme machinery would lack in a non-resistant strain. The resistant bacteria might have undergone mutations over a period of time to evolve a machinery for antibiotic resistance.
