Suppose mendel breeds some true-breeding tall pea plants together with true-breeding short plants, to produce hybrid offspring (all of which will be tall, because the tall allele is dominant). he then breeds those first-generation hybrid offspring together with more true-breeding short plants, to produce a new set of offspring.
