Gregor Mendel's first experiment was with pea plants.
His goal was to find the genetic qualities in the third generation and see how they differ with the parental generation. He later developed some twisted logic about DNA.
You can simulate Mendel's experiment with a Punnet Square and some data.
Gregor Mendel was a lone wolf, honey. He did his pea plant experiments all by his lonesome, no need for any other scientists cramping his style. Mendel was like the Beyoncé of genetics, slaying the game solo.
He is DEAD. The father of genetics died about one-hundred to two-houndred years ago
The first generation of offspring in Mendel's experiments are called the F1 generation or the first filial generation. These are the offspring resulting from the crossing of two parental or P generation plants.
Each trait had two sets of instructions, one from each parent.
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?

Unless the alleles are codominate (which Mendel did not have in pea plants), one will be dominate and will be what you see (phenotype) and one will be recessive and you will not see it.

Which two experiments?
Monohybrid crosses were discovered by Gregor Mendel, an Austrian monk known as the father of modern genetics, in his famous pea plant experiments. Dihybrid crosses were also studied by Mendel in his experiments, where he observed the inheritance of two different traits simultaneously.

Mendel made three key decisions in designing his experiments. First, he selected purebred pea plants that were true breeding for specific traits. Second, he focused on only one trait at a time, such as flower color or seed shape. Lastly, he used statistical analysis to determine ratios and patterns in the inheritance of traits.
