When Mendel self-pollinated F1 pea plants that were heterozygous for a single trait, the F2 generation showed both parental phenotypes reappearing in a ratio of approximately 3:1, with the recessive trait reappearing even though it had disappeared in F1. This observation illustrates Mendel's principle of:
