Question

how did mendel explain that it is possible that a trait is inherited but not expressed in an organism. class 10​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Some traits that are inherited may not express themselves. Such hidden traits are known as recessive traits. Mendel explained this phenomenon with the help of monohybrid cross. In a monohybrid cross performed by Mendel, tall plant was crossed with a dwarf plant which produced all tall plants in F1 progeny.

Answer 2

Answer:

answer is below

Explanation:

In Mendel's experiment, when pure tall pea plants are crossed with pure dwarf pea plants, only tall pea plants are produced in the F1 generation. ... The reappearance of the dwarf pea plants in the F2 generation proves that the dwarf trait was inherited by the organism but not expressed in the F1 generation.
