The f1 generation may have genes for short plants just that the genes for long plants are dominant over the genes for short plants(recessive) so when cross pollination happen and that two f1 long plants which are homozygous cross pollinate, the recessive genes have a chance of being paired up in new offspring(F2 offspring) thus the possiblity of short plants in f2 generation

For example, the cross between two pure plants (homozygous), being a dominant characteristic over another, in case high on short.

High = AA
Short = aa

F1 = AA x aa = 100% Aa = high = heterozygous

F2 = Aa x Aa
 
      A    a
A  AA  Aa
a  Aa  aa

Therefore, of this crossing, we have
75% High plants (AA e Aa)
25% short plants (aa)

This is possible because the heterozygote plant had the short plant allele.

Produces lightning in a thunderstorm
balandron [24]

Answer:

Lightning is an electric current. Within a thundercloud way up in the sky, many small bits of ice (frozen raindrops) bump into each other as they move around in the air. All of those collisions create an electric charge. After a while, the whole cloud fills up with electrical charges.

If the stem of a plant is bent or snapped, why does the part above the bend usually die, even if it is propped up with a support
Georgia [21]
 There are inner part of the stem and outer part of the stem; in a plant the inner part supports the movement of the water and nutrients. You stop the flow of the vital elements of plant growth when you snap the stem and this is the reason why the plant die due to starvation of the nutrients.
