Mendel used all tall plants in his F1 experiment because that was the offspring from his cross of a pure tall plant and a pure short plant. By crossing two of the tall plants from F1, he proved that the recessive gene (t) was still present in the F1 generation, despite the phenotypes of all of these plants being tall. (The result of the F1 cross gave 3 tall plants and 1 short plant.)
Recessive
Mendels' f2 generation produce a 3:1 ratio of tall plants. By crossing true tall with true short , homologous chromosomes, he wound up with three types of plants, true tall, true short, and tall with a short allele.
they were all hybrids
he breeded the f1 plants with a recessive homozygous plant and if the offspring (f2) showed the recessive allele, then the recessive allele is still present in the f1 plant
You get F1 .

No genes disappear in the F1 generation. Each of the F1 plants was heterozygous, having both a dominant and recessive alleles. The recessive phenotype disappears in the F1 generation because all members of that generation carry a dominant allele. In the F2 generation, the recessive phenotype will reappear.

The offsprings of F1 plants are known as F2. The letter F denotes the filial generation and the number denotes subsiquest generations of crossing among themselves.
When Mendel crossed two hybrid plants for stem height, three fourths of the F1 plants always had tall stems. One fourth of the plants had short stems.Mendel always got a dazzling and great result. It was always 3/4 that were tall and 1/4 that were short
