Hey,
Friend,
When Mendel crossed true breeding tall plants with true breeding dwarf plants, the first progenies ( F1 generation) produced had only tall plants. In offsprings the tallness supressed the dwarfness. Mendel , therefore ,called traits such as tallness (They appear in F1 generation)
dominant and Dwarfness (which does not appear in F1 generation) as recessive....
Hope this will help you...

Hey mate..
=========
▪Mendel took two pair of alternative expression of two traits of pea plants ( pisum sativum ) and crossed them. The F1 progeny showed only the dominant characters among each . But when Mendel crossed those F1 hybrids by self-pollination , he found that the F2 progeny has phenotypes similar to parents but also has phenotypes that doesnot exist in parents.This indicates that a pair of alternate characteristics behave independently of the other pair and thus inherent independent of each other.
▪Thus, we come to know that the character which got fully expressed in F1 generation is called dominant traits and the character which remains unexpressed in the F1 generation is called recessive traits.
Hope it helps ☺
