Mendels' f2 generation produce a 3:1 ratio of tall plants. By crossing true tall with true short , homologous chromosomes, he wound up with three types of plants, true tall, true short, and tall with a short allele.

TT for the homozygous tall parent, tt for the homozygous short parent and Tt for the heterozygous offspring.
parental generationparental generation
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.

Mendels' f2 generation produce a 3:1 ratio of tall plants. By crossing true tall with true short , homologous chromosomes, he wound up with three types of plants, true tall, true short, and tall with a short allele.

True breeding plants were homozygous for all the characters expressed, hence inheritance of characters was better understood with the help of these plants.
True breeding tall plants would be TT and true breeding short plants would be tt, so TT x tt would illustrate the crossbreeding.

Yes, Mendel's principles of inheritance, such as the law of segregation and the law of independent assortment, apply to many other organisms beyond pea plants. These principles have been found to hold true in various animals, plants, and even humans, demonstrating their widespread relevance in genetics.
