In order to obtain the. `F_1` generation Mendel pollinated a pure-breeding tall plant with a pure breeding dwarf plant. But for getting the `F_2` generation, he simply self-pollinated the tall `F_1` plants. Why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Mendel performed selfing among the `F_1` tall hybrids(Tt) in order to segregate the two-traits.
