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.
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).

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.
100% heterozygous pea plants. Showing the dominant trait
True-breeding pea plants always produce offspring with the same traits as the parent plant. This is because they are homozygous for the trait of interest, resulting in consistent expression in the offspring generation.
