Answer:Mendel demonstrated that traits can be either dominant or recessive through his monohybrid cross. He crossed true-breeding tall (TT) and dwarf (tt) pea plants. ... They appeared tall only because the tall trait was dominant over the dwarf trait. This shows that traits may be dominant or recessive.

For his experiment Mendel choosed pea plant which has contrasting trait of height i.e tall and short . He took a pure tall plant and a pure dwarf plant. He crossed both the plants. As a result , he obtained all the plants tall in the F1 generation. But when he self pollinated the plants of a F1 generation he observed that plants in the F2 generation were tall as well as dwarf. It means that one trait was disappeared in F1 generation but it reappeared in F2 generation. Thus T is a dominant trait and t is a recessive trait . Because T was in both the generations whereas t was only in F2 generation.
