True-breeding Tomato plants--TAKE HOME TEST QUESTION! SOOOO CONFUSED! PLEASE HELP ME!?

In tomato plants, tallness is dominant over dwarfness and hairy stems are dominant over hairless stems. True-breeding (homozygous) plants that are tall and have hairy stems are available. True-breeding (homozygous) plants that are dwarf and have hairless stems are also available. Design an experiment to determine whether the genes for height and hairinessof the stem are on the same or different chromosomes. Explain how you will be able to determine from the results whether the genes are on the same or different chromosomes.

first you have to bread the 2 homozygous plants to produce heterozygous plants which will be tall and hairy you then breed this with your homozygous dwarf hairless plant. You need to breed a lot of offspring to get a fair trial if any of the offspring are tall and hairless or short and hairy the genes are on different chromosomes
