Pea traits studied by Mendel

Table showing Pea traits studied by Mendel.

Mendel cross-bred peas with 7 pairs of pure-bred traits. First-generation (F1) progeny only showed the dominant traits, but recessive traits reappeared in the self-pollinated second-generation (F2) plants in a 3:1 ratio of dominant to recessive traits.
