How did Mendel's F1 generation pea plants differ from his F2 generation pea plants?

Im doing a bio project on Mendel. I need to know how his f1 generation plants differ from his f2 generation plants. any ideas? ||| pure race: AA (yellow), aa(green)


A dominant fenotipe


a recesive fenotipe








parents P............AA....x.....aa





generation F1.............Aa (the one half of each from parents)





generation F2 .......Aa x Aa


--------------------------------------鈥?br>

.............1/2A............1/2a...


--------------------------------------鈥?br>

1/2A..... 14AA...........1/4Aa


1/2a......1/4aA...........1/4aa


--------------------------------------鈥?br>




Result: 1/4 Aa + 1/4 Aa + 1/4aA = 3/4 yellow


.............1/4aa= 1/4 green





Rate.....3:1





In the first generation (F1), all the descendant are yellow (dominant fenotipe A). Its genotipe is Aa


In the second generation (F2) appears the recesive fenotipe a, so the rate is 3 yellows and 1 green. Its genotipe is Aa aA AA aa. It is said, in the second generation the pure races AA aa appear again while in the first generation it is a hybride in which the fenotipe a (green) didn't appear (recesive)
