Which of the following statement is correct about hybridisation experiments carried out by Mendel?(a) When Mendel crossed tall and dwarf pea plants he observed that all the $$F1$$ generation plants were tall.(b) The tall and dwarf traits that appeared in $$F2$$ generation were phenotypically identical to their parental type and did not show any blending.(c) Mendel performed monohybrid cross with respect to seven characters showing contrasting traits for each character and observed that $$F1$$ always resembled either of the parents, and that the trait of the other parent was not expressed in them.

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.
