Question

In which generation were recessive traits visible in a few plants in Mendel’s experiments?

F 2 generation F 1 generation P generation true-bred generation

Answer 1

According to his experiments, recessive traits could be seen in a few members of the F2 generation. The probability of this happening is of about 25%.

I'll leave you an image, so you can see things more clearly. This is a brief explanation to understanding the images:

The capital letter such as "S" represent the dominant trait and the small letter such as "s" represent the recessive trait.

When you see an image with "Ss" it means that the dominant trait has applied. When you encounter and image with "ss" it means that the recessive trait has applied.

Answer 2

F2 generation

Step-by-step explanation:

When Mendel crossed true-breeding plants (P generation) then the offsprings produced as a result of this cross constituted the first filial generation F1.

When the progenies of the F1 generation were crossed this resulted in the offsprings the constituted the second filial generation, F2.

Now, all the offsprings in the F1 generation were the ones that showed the dominant character however it was in the F2 generation that 1/4th offsprings showed the recessive traits.
