Gregor Mendel developed the model of heredity that now bears his name by experiments on various charactersitics of pea plants: height (tall vs. Short); seed color (yellow vs. Green); seat coat (smooth vs. wrinkled), etc. The following explanation uses the tall/short trait. The other traits Mendel studied can be substituted for tall and short.

Hey dea..!
Mendel noticed that the self-pollinating pea plants in his garden were true breeding: they all produced offspring with characteristics identical to their own. Mendel looked at seven different characteristics, or traits, that showed up in all of the plants. Each of these traits had two contrasting natures, only one of which would show up in a given true-breeding plant. For example, plant height could be either short or tall: short, true-breeding plants would only produce short offspring, and tall plants would only produce tall offspring. At some point, Mendel wondered what would happen if he manually mated these true-breeding plants with each other—would a tall plant mated with a short plant produce a tall, medium, or short offspring? Focusing on only one trait at a time, Mendel cross-pollinated plants with each of the seven contrasting traits and examined their offspring. He called the original true-breeding parents the P (for parental) generation and called their first set of offspring the F1 (for “first filial,” from the Latin word filius, meaning son). The F1 offspring that result from two parents with different characteristics are also called hybrids.
He developed two laws:
Law of Dominance
Law of segregation
