In Mendel’s experiment, when pure tall pea plants were crossed with pure dwarf pea plants, only tall pea plants were obtained in F1 generation.
On selfing the pea plants of F1generation both tall and dwarf pea plants were obtained in F2 generation.
Reappearance of the dwarf pea plants in F2 generation proves that the dwarf trait was inherited but not expressed in F1 generation.

this could be answered as we inherit the characteristics of both mother and father but only the characters that are dominating are expressed but the rest are there which might b expressed later.
