Answer:

According to punnet squares, the child would have no probability of being short, and 100 percent probability of being tall.

Explanation:

since both parents have a dominant allele for being tall, then the probabilities of the recessive allele showing are close to zero. However, height is considered as one of the mendelian traits. which means, it can easily be changed due to environmental factors and does not rely on genetics as much as other traits.
