Question

How do Mendel experiments show that traits may be dominant or recessive

Answer 1

Mendel demonstrated that traitscan be either dominant or recessivethrough his monohybrid cross. He crossed true-breeding tall (TT) and dwarf (tt) pea plants. ... They appeared tall only because the tall trait wasdominant over the dwarf trait. Thisshows that traits may be dominant or recessive.

Answer 2

Answer:

The trait which appears in all the members of F1 generation and also in 75% numbers of F2generation obtained by self fertilization of F1 generation is dominant character.

The trait which does not appear in F generation but after self-fertilization of F1 generation, reappears in 25% of F2 generation is known as recessive.
