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
Mendel obtained his P generation by cross-breeding selected purebred plants that displayed contrasting traits. This allowed him to study how traits are passed down from one generation to the next.

In his first set of experiments, Mendel crossed purebred pea plants with different traits, such as tall and short plants. He observed the inheritance patterns in the offspring of these crosses over several generations. Mendel showed that traits are inherited independently and proposed the laws of segregation and independent assortment.
The F1 generation of crossing a tall plant with a short plant resulted in all tall plants. This is because the tall trait is dominant and the short trait is recessive in Mendel's experiments with pea plants.
taken from a science textbook- Scientists today call these parent plants the parental generation, or P generation. The offspring from this cross are the first filial generation or the F1 generation. The word filial comes from filila and flilius, the Latin words for daughter and son. When the plants in the F1 generation were full-grown, Mendel allowed them to self-pollinate. Surprisingly, the plants in the F2 gneration were a mix of tall AND short plants. The shortness trait had reappeared even though none of the F2 parent plants were short. Mendel counted the tall and short plants. About three fourths of the plants were tall, while one fourths were short.
All the offspring were tall plants. This is because the tall trait is dominant over the short trait in Mendel's experiments on pea plants.
I think not as tall is the dominant allele here.T = tallt = shortTT X ttall would beTt======and tall.
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.

100% percent of the plants expressed the dominate trait ........................................................................................ what do u get when u mix purple with purple you get 100% purple :) simple peace of cake !

i believe his results were that after cross pollinating to non-purebred pea plants, the offspring were all tall like the female,and when he crossed the other two, he received three tall pea plants and one short
Gregor Mendel called the parent plants in his experiments "P generation," which stood for parental generation.
Gregor Mendel's main experiment involved breeding pea plants to study inheritance patterns. He crossed plants with different traits, such as tall and short, to observe how characteristics were passed down to offspring. Through his experiments, Mendel discovered the fundamental principles of heredity, known as Mendelian genetics.
