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
the traits were recessive
This is Mendel's principle of dominance. Dominant alleles will always mask the presence of recessive alleles in a heterozygous genotype.
Wrinkled seeds are recessive The F1generation carried recessive alleles.
In heterozygous individuals, only the dominant allele is expressed. The recessive allele is present, but not expressed
Unless the alleles are codominate (which Mendel did not have in pea plants), one will be dominate and will be what you see (phenotype) and one will be recessive and you will not see it.

Mendel's law of inheritance.
The two factors that Mendel identified are now known as alleles. Alleles are different versions of a gene that can determine the expression of a trait in an offspring, depending on whether they are dominant or recessive. The combination of alleles inherited from both parents ultimately influences the phenotype, or observable traits, of the offspring.

The law of dominance and recessiveness is a fundamental principle of genetics that explains how certain traits are inherited. According to this principle, dominant alleles mask the effects of recessive alleles when both are present in an organism. As a result, an organism will display the trait associated with the dominant allele, while the recessive trait will only be expressed when two recessive alleles are present. This concept was first formulated by Gregor Mendel through his experiments with pea plants.
Unless the alleles are codominate (which Mendel did not have in pea plants), one will be dominate and will be what you see (phenotype) and one will be recessive and you will not see it.

Mendel figured out about dominant and recessive alleles, and Punnet found out about inheritance patterns.
