When Mendel crossed tall and dwarf pea plant he observed that all the $$F1$$ generation were tall. The tall and dwarf traits that appeared in $$F2$$ generation were identical to their parental type and did not show any blending.Mendel performed monohybrid cross with several contrasting characters and observed that $$F1$$ always resembled either one of the parents, and that the trait of the other parent was not expressed in them.
