In Mendel's experiments, recessive traits were visible in the F2 generation. After crossing true-breeding plants in the F1 generation, which displayed only dominant traits, the recessive traits reappeared in a ratio of approximately 3:1 in the F2 generation. This observation was crucial for Mendel's formulation of the laws of inheritance.
