Question

How did Mendel explain that it is possible that a trait is inherited but not expressed in an organisms "it's 3 marks Qiestion"

Answer 1

A cross made between a pair of contrasting characters is called monohybrid cross.In monohybrid cross of tall and short pea plant (pisum sativum) , in F1 generation heterozygous tall plants are produced only. Even though the trait of shortness is inherited it is not expressed in F1 generation due to the dominance of trait of tallness.Thus Mendel explain that it is possible that a trait is inherited but not expressed in an organisms.
