The other traits Mendel studied can be substituted for tall and short. Mendel started out with plants that "bred true". ... A. 1/4 of the F2 generation are short plants, which produce only short plants in the F3 generation, if they are self- pollinated (or crossed with other short F2 plants;)

Mendel experiment
Explanation:
- Tall F2 plants can be heterozygous as well as homozygous in genotype. If in heterozygous conditions, self-pollination is done then 75% of all plants will be tall. In the second case of homozygosity, self-pollination will give all tall plants
- In F2 generation there are two types of genotypes that show tall trait which are Tt and TT. If he would have crossed plants with TT and TT genotypes, he would got all tall plants but he would have crossed plants with Tt and Tt genotype, he would got 3 tall plants and 1 dwarf plant.
