Solution
The correct option is A recessive
∙ Mendel selected pure breed plants with dominant and recessive characters to conduct his experiments.
∙ The F1 generation always had heterozygous genotype expressing dominant trait.
∙ Self pollination of this F1 generation will give rise to F2 generation with homozygous dominant , homozygous recessive and heterozygous dominant genotypes.
∙ Recessive traits can be only expressed in homozygous condition
Hence, recessive characters started to appear from F2 generation in Mendel's experiments.
