In genetics, if a tall stem is a dominant characteristic, the characteristic of tall will definitely be expressed in an individual when:
The individual has inherited at least one dominant allele for tallness.
In cases where a trait is dominant, it means that only one copy of the dominant allele is required for the expression of that trait. If an individual possesses at least one dominant allele for a specific trait (in this case, tallness), that trait will be expressed in the phenotype of the individual.
