Answer:
He identified pure-breeding pea plants that consistently showed 1 form of a trait after generations of self-pollination. ... Mendel then crossed these pure-breeding lines of plants and recorded the traits of the hybrid progeny. He found that all of the first-generation (F1) hybrids looked like 1 of the parent plants.

Mendel is known as the father of genetics because of his ground-breaking work on inheritance in pea plants 150 years ago.
- Mendel did thousands of cross-breeding experiments. His key finding was that there were 3 times as many dominant as recessive traits in F2 pea plants (3:1 ratio). Mendel crossed pure lines of pea plants. However, recessive traits reappeared in second-generation (F2) pea plants in a ratio of 3:1 (dominant to recessive).
- First he produced a parent generation of true-breeding plants.
- Next, he produced a second generation of plants (F1) by breeding two different true-breeding P plants.
- He then produced a third generation of plants (F2) by self-pollinating two F1 generation plants that had the same traits.
