Short stem and tall stems.
The first generation of of pea plants that Mendel bred were tall.
P1 or parental
P generation.
The original generation for pea plants in Mendel's experiment is called the P generation, or parental generation. This generation consisted of the true-breeding plants that Mendel used to establish the traits he studied. The P generation was crossed to produce the F1 generation, which exhibited the traits inherited from the P generation.
The original generation of pea plants in Mendel's experiments is called the P generation, or parental generation. This generation consists of the true-breeding plants that Mendel used to establish the traits he studied in subsequent generations. The P generation's offspring are referred to as the F1 generation, which Mendel observed for inheritance patterns.
When F1 pea plants are allowed to self-pollinate, the phenotype will exhibit a 3:1 ratio in the F2 generation according to Mendel's laws of inheritance. This ratio includes three plants with the dominant trait (e.g., yellow seeds) and one plant with the recessive trait (e.g., green seeds).

The peas produced by Lupe's pea plants can also exhibit different traits, such as being round or wrinkled. The round shape is dominant over the wrinkled shape. Therefore, the combination of flower color and pea shape results in various possible phenotypes for the offspring, depending on the genotypes of the parent plants. Lupe can predict the inheritance patterns using a Punnett square to assess the traits of the next generation.
Mendel wondered why traits in pea plants were passed down in certain patterns from generation to generation. He sought to understand how characteristics like flower color and seed shape were inherited and how they could be predicted in offspring. This led him to discover the basic principles of genetics.
False.
