Tt and TT were the genotypes of the true breeding plants that Mendel used in his two factor cross.
Mendel called the offspring of the first filial generation "F1 hybrids" or "first filial generation." These offspring result from crossing two true-breeding parents with different traits.
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.
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.
Gregor Mendel referred to the generation resulting from crossbreeding the parental generation as the "first filial generation," symbolized as F1.

Gregor Mendel
Gregor Mendel is the father of genetics.He found the inheritance using pea plants.
Mendel's observations that all first-generation pea plants were tall can be explained by the dominance of the tall allele over the short allele in his experiments. He performed hybridizations between true-breeding tall and short pea plants, where the tall trait was dominant. As a result, all offspring in the first generation (F1) exhibited the dominant tall phenotype, masking the expression of the recessive short phenotype. This pattern laid the foundation for Mendel's laws of inheritance.
