A recessive trait reappears in the 2nd generation. The classic example of this would be Gregor Mendel's pea plant cross. He took 2 pea plants, one short and one tall, cut out some of their reproductive parts so they couldn't self pollinate, and crossed their pollen. However, instead of getting a medium sized plant, he got 4 tall plants. This generation is the first, or F1, generation. Where did the short trait go? Did it simply disappear? Or was it being masked? To find out, he let the F1 generation self-pollinate. Surprisingly, there were 3 tall and 1 short plants in the F2 generation. Although the short trait was recessive, it reappeared in the second generation.

What did Mendel do in his second law?

The second Mendelian Law is the Law of Segregation. It states that in a cross the parental traits do not merge in the first offspring generation (ie. the recessive, "weaker" trait does not disappear for good) but instead appear unchanged in the second offspring generation. For example, if you cross homozygous dwarf pea plants to homozygous tall, all members of the first offspring generation will be tall. This makes it seem as if the dwarf trait disappears, but it does not. If you inbreed the first offspring generation, you get 25% dwarf plants in the second offspring generation. So the "lost" trait reappears.
