Solution

If tall (T) is dominant over dwarf (t) and round seeds (R) is dominant over wrinkled seeds (r), the genotype of a true breeding tall plant with wrinkled seeds would be TTrr.

Explanation:

A true-breeding tall plant must be homozygous TT. Wrinkled seeds are recessive, so the plant must be rr; together the genotype is TTrr.
