Question 20

In pea plants, the allele for tall stem length ( $T$ ) is dominant to the allele for short stem length ( $t$ ). Two heterozygous tall pea plants ( $T t$ ) are crossed. The table below shows the number of tall and short offspring produced from this cross:

Phenotype	Number of offspring
Tall	735
Short	245

Calculate the number of these offspring that is most likely to be heterozygous.
