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.

three times as many tall plants as short plants
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.

F2 generation
The original generation of pea plants in Mendel's experiments is called the P generation, or parental generation. This generation consists of the true-breeding plants that Mendel used to establish the traits he studied in subsequent generations. The P generation's offspring are referred to as the F1 generation, which Mendel observed for inheritance patterns.
