My homework says to cross a heterozygous long stem plant with a short stem plant. I believe the long stem should be labeled Ll due to being heterozygous, correct?
Secondly, the short stem plant needs to be ll because it is short, correct?
Secondly, the short stem plant needs to be ll because it is short, correct?

Based on the information you have provided, one can assume that long stems is the dominant trait (L) and short stems is the recessive trait (l).
Heterozygous long stem plant - Ll
Homozygous recessive short stem plant - ll
Based on this crossing, it can be concluded that 50% of the offspring will be heterozygous (Ll) and thus have long stems, and 50% of the offspring will be homozygous recessive (ll), and thus have short stems.
I hope this helps.

Correct, assuming that "long" is dominant. The cross is Ll x ll.
-
Hetero longsteam would be Ll and the shortsteam would be ll. The cross would give you Ll, Ll, ll, ll. So 50% hetero longsteam and 50% homo shortsteam.

assuming short is recessive - yes you are correct.
