F1 plants, or first filial generation plants, are the offspring resulting from the crossbreeding of two genetically distinct parent plants. This generation typically exhibits hybrid vigor, leading to enhanced growth, yield, or specific traits compared to their parents. F1 plants are commonly used in agriculture and horticulture to produce uniform and high-quality crops. However, when F1 plants are self-pollinated or crossed with each other, their offspring (F2 generation) can display a wider variation in traits.
Mendel used all tall plants in his F1 experiment because that was the offspring from his cross of a pure tall plant and a pure short plant. By crossing two of the tall plants from F1, he proved that the recessive gene (t) was still present in the F1 generation, despite the phenotypes of all of these plants being tall. (The result of the F1 cross gave 3 tall plants and 1 short plant.)
Recessive
Mendel's F1 generation plants showed only one of the two traits present in the parental generation. This indicated that the trait expressed in the F1 generation was dominant, while the other trait was recessive.
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.
he breeded the f1 plants with a recessive homozygous plant and if the offspring (f2) showed the recessive allele, then the recessive allele is still present in the f1 plant

The offspring produced by crossing F1 plants is known as F2 generation. This generation results from the self-pollination of F1 hybrid plants. The F2 generation exhibits greater genetic variability due to the recombination of alleles from the original parental lines.
Mendel's F1 generation plants showed only one of the two traits present in the parental generation. This indicated that the trait expressed in the F1 generation was dominant, while the other trait was recessive.
