Mendel studied seven characters in pea plants.
Every character has two contrasting traits in pea plants.
After performing hybridisation experiments, he proposed that the trait that appears in the $F_1$ generation is called a dominant trait.

The trait that does not appear in $F_1$ generation but appears in $F_2$ generation is called a recessive trait.

The expression of characters is controlled by genes.
