Solution

The correct answer is "dominant over dwarf plant".

Here's why:

In genetics, when a trait appears in the first generation of offspring, it is considered dominant. In this case, the tall trait is dominant because when a true-breeding tall pea plant (TT) is crossed with a true-breeding dwarf pea plant (tt), all of the offspring are tall. This is because the tall trait is dominant and masks the presence of the dwarf trait in the first generation.

So, the trait tall plant is dominant over dwarf plant.
