With the help of an example justify the following statement: “A trait may be inherited, but may not be expressed”.
Answer:
Yes, it is possible that a trait is inherited but may not be expressed.

On selfing tall plants of F1; both tall and dwarf plants are obtained in F2 generation in the ratio 3:1. Reappearance of the dwarf character, a recessive trait in F2 generation shows that the dwarf trait was present in individuals of F1 but it did not express.
