When Mendel crossed true-breeding pea plants with different traits, he observed that the offspring in the first generation (F1) all displayed one of the parental traits. This led him to propose the Law of Dominance, which states that one trait will mask or dominate another in hybrids.
When Mendel crossed a true-breeding short plant with a true-breeding tall plant, all the offspring were tall. Which term describes the gene for tallness?
Tt and TT were the genotypes of the true breeding plants that Mendel used in his two factor cross.

Mendel crossed true-breeding pea plants with contrasting traits in his first generation experiments. Specifically, he crossed a true-breeding purple-flowered plant with a true-breeding white-flowered plant.
All the offspring were purple because Mendel was dealing with simple genetic dominance. The purple true breeding parent was homozygous dominant and the true breeding white parent was homozygous recessive. When those two are crossed they create only heterozygous offspring (look up a punnett) and since this is simple dominance those heterozygous will show the phenotype of the dominant allele which is purple.
