Example: Tall pea plants (TT) and dwarf pea plants (tt)
On crossing homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive parents, the f1 generation produced was Tt i.e. all tall plants.
But on self-crossing the F1 plants, the plants produced are shown in the table above.So, its clearly seen that in F2, the recessive phenotype is seen, which was absent in F1
