In Mendel's experiments, recessive traits were hidden in the F1 generation, which consisted of hybrid plants that expressed only the dominant traits. However, these recessive traits reappeared in the F2 generation when the F1 plants were self-pollinated, revealing the hidden recessive traits in a 3:1 ratio.
The F2 generation showed hidden traits in all plants of Mendel's experiments. This generation resulted from crossing the hybrid F1 generation plants, allowing recessive traits to resurface and become visible in the offspring.
In Mendel's experiments, recessive traits were hidden in the F1 generation, which consisted of the offspring resulting from the cross of two purebred parent plants with contrasting traits. These F1 plants exhibited only the dominant traits, while the recessive traits were not expressed. However, when the F1 plants were self-pollinated to produce the F2 generation, the recessive traits reappeared in a predictable ratio alongside the dominant traits.
In Mendel's experiments, recessive traits were hidden in the F1 generation. When he crossed pure-breeding plants with contrasting traits, all offspring in the F1 generation exhibited the dominant trait. It was only in the F2 generation, produced by self-pollinating the F1 plants, that the recessive traits reappeared in a 3:1 ratio alongside the dominant traits.
Mendel demonstrated that the green seed trait was not lost but masked by conducting experiments with pea plants. He observed that when he crossed plants with yellow seeds (dominant) and green seeds (recessive), the first generation (F1) all produced yellow seeds. However, when he self-pollinated the F1 generation, the second generation (F2) displayed both yellow and green seeds in a 3:1 ratio, revealing that the green seed trait had been carried over and was simply hidden in the F1 generation. This led Mendel to conclude that traits can be dominant or recessive, with recessive traits re-emerging in subsequent generations.
False. Mendel's experiments demonstrated that dominant traits mask the expression of recessive traits in heterozygous individuals. This means that the dominant trait is expressed while the recessive trait remains hidden. Thus, the recessive trait does not get expressed when a dominant trait is present.
The F2 generation showed hidden traits in all plants of Mendel's experiments. This generation resulted from crossing the hybrid F1 generation plants, allowing recessive traits to resurface and become visible in the offspring.

In Mendel's experiments, recessive traits were hidden in the F1 generation. When he crossed pure-breeding plants with contrasting traits, all offspring in the F1 generation exhibited the dominant trait. It was only in the F2 generation, produced by self-pollinating the F1 plants, that the recessive traits reappeared in a 3:1 ratio alongside the dominant traits.
F1 generation
Mendel proposed the concept of dominant and recessive traits, where recessive traits are masked in the F1 generation but can reappear in the F2 generation when two carriers of the recessive trait combine and show the trait. This is known as the Law of Segregation, where pairs of alleles separate during gamete formation, leading to the reemergence of hidden traits.

Wrinkled seeds are recessive The F1generation carried recessive alleles.

They differed both in genotype and phenotype. Mendel's F1 generation were all heterozygous Tall. Where his F2 generation had genotype frequencies as follows: 1TT:2Tt:1tt and the phenotype frequency 3tall:1short This is assuming you are referring to his experiments using height as the factor. His other experiments had similar results just replace all the uppercase T's with the dominant allele and the lowercase t's with the recessive trait.
