Mendel's first experiment focused on the inheritance of a single trait, specifically the flower color of pea plants, where he observed the dominant and recessive traits in the F1 and F2 generations. In contrast, his second experiment investigated two traits simultaneously, such as seed shape and seed color, allowing him to analyze the principle of independent assortment. This difference in scope enabled Mendel to establish foundational laws of inheritance, including the law of segregation and the law of independent assortment.
The first generation of offspring in Mendel's experiments are called the F1 generation or the first filial generation. These are the offspring resulting from the crossing of two parental or P generation plants.
Mendel made three key decisions in designing his experiments. First, he selected purebred pea plants that were true breeding for specific traits. Second, he focused on only one trait at a time, such as flower color or seed shape. Lastly, he used statistical analysis to determine ratios and patterns in the inheritance of traits.
Grigor Mendel ,in his experiments used garden pea plants to find out the secrets of genetics i.e., the 'gene' . First he cross a plant having different features suppose 1. he cross pollinated the tall plant and a short plant their genotype must be TT . tt respectively. its result must be full tall plants ,having genotype Tt [F1 progeny] 2. then he self pollinated the F1 progeny i.e., Tt.Tt the result was in the ratio 3 is to 1 ,where 3 is for tall plants and 1 is for short plants ..
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.
The alchemists were the first chemists. They mixed chemicals, but also believed that magic would help them in their experiments and formulas. It didn't. But their chemical experiments eventually led to the science of chemistry.
Mendel allowed the first generation plants to self pollinate.

The first generation of offspring in Mendel's experiments are called the F1 generation or the first filial generation. These are the offspring resulting from the crossing of two parental or P generation plants.
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.
The original generation of pea plants in Mendel's experiments is called the P generation, or parental generation. This generation was used to establish the initial genetic makeup for subsequent generations, which included the F1 (first filial) and F2 (second filial) generations. Mendel cross-pollinated the P generation to study the inheritance of traits.
