i think he used cross breeding(I think) in the F1 generation, then used the results to self pollinate. dont quote me i am not sure, just what i would think.

Recessive traits were visible in the F2 generation of Mendel's experiments, where the offspring of the F1 generation showed a 3:1 ratio of dominant to recessive traits.
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.
In his classic pea plant experiments, Gregor Mendel observed that among the offspring of a cross between round and wrinkled seeds, he counted about 5474 round seeds and 1850 wrinkled seeds in the F2 generation. This ratio approximates a 3:1 ratio, supporting his hypothesis of inheritance and the dominance of the round seed trait over the wrinkled seed trait.
The ratios were important in Gregor Mendel's works he found out that there were two types of traits namely dominant and recessive.He also wanted to find out on what ratio does the dominant and recessive traits occured in living beings.
For each of the seven characters Medel studied,he found the same 3:1 ratio of plants expressing the contrasting traits in the f2 generation.
9:3:3:1 was the ratio of Mendel's f2 generation for the two factor cross.
he found out that it was a 3:1 ratio which is 0.3333333...... bye me

3:1
In the F2 generation, Mendel observed that the traits that had been masked in the F1 generation reappeared in a predictable ratio of 3:1 for the dominant and recessive traits, respectively. This led to the formulation of Mendel's law of segregation, which states that alleles segregate independently during gamete formation.
the F1 is 3:1
