Answer: the correct answer is 25%

T is the allele for tall plant, which is dominant trait. 't' is the allele for dwarf plant, which is a recessive trait.

Genotypes of the parent plants are- Tt and Tt. When they are crossed, there are 25% chances of producing tt offsprings. Refer the punnett square for this.

% of Offsprings with tt genotype = $\frac{1}{4} \times 100$

= 25%

Answer:

The correct answer is- law of independent assortment

This allows the combination of new characters in the offspring. So it helps in increasing the genetic variability in the gene pool. Therefore law of independent assortment tells that inheritance of one trait had no effect on the inheritance of another.
