Allele for tall stem (dominant)- T
Allele for short stem (recessive)- t
The F1 generation would all be tall-stemmed plants with the genotype Tt (heterozygous).
The F2 generation would consist of:
25% Tall plants with the genotype TT (homozygous dominant)
50% Tall plants with the genotype Tt (heterozygous)
25% Short plants with the genotype tt (homozygous recessive)
recessive trait
The first step of Mendel's garden pea experiments was to select pure-breeding plants that were true-breeding for specific traits, such as tall or short height, smooth or wrinkled seeds, yellow or green seeds, etc. This ensured that the offspring would also exhibit the same trait consistently.
f2 generation
Yes, Mendel observed that certain traits in his pea plant study were consistently passed down from one generation to the next, indicating that they were inherited in a predictable manner according to his laws of inheritance.
The first generation of offspring from a cross is called the F1 generation.
