If Mendel's experiments were not true breeding, then he would not be ablt to tell the recessive alleles showed up in the F2 progeny. Since the F1 generation would have showed the dominant trait regardless, the only way to show the recessive alleles carry to the F2 is to have true breeding parents.

It would have been difficult for him to elucidate the Law of dominance and Law of segregation so easily.

Which letters can be used to model mendels cross of true-breeding tall plants with true breeding short plants in a punnett square?

True breeding tall plants would be TT and true breeding short plants would be tt, so TT x tt would illustrate the crossbreeding.
