Genes come in different varieties, called alleles. Somatic cells contain two alleles for every gene, with one allele provided by each parent of an organism. Often, it is impossible to determine which two alleles of a gene are present within an organism's chromosomes based solely on the outward appearance of that organism. However, an allele that is hidden, or not expressed by an organism, can still be passed on to that organism's offspring and expressed in a later generation.
Tracing a hidden gene through a family tree

Figure 1: In this family pedigree, black squares indicate the presence of a particular trait in a male, and white squares represent males without the trait. White circles are females. A trait in one generation can be inherited, but not outwardly apparent before two more generations (compare black squares).
Figure Detail
The family tree in Figure 1 shows how an allele can disappear or "hide" in one generation and then reemerge in a later generation. In this family tree, the father in the first generation shows a particular trait (as indicated by the black square), but none of the children in the second generation show that trait. Nonetheless, the trait reappears in the third generation (black square, lower right). How is this possible? This question is best answered by considering the basic principles of inheritance.

Mendel experiment on hybridization
Explanation:
- Mendel conducted a hybridizing to check that traits area unit inheritable severally. He thought of 2 traits at a time: these were:- seed color & seed form during which Yellow color (YY) and {round form|shape|form} (RR) is dominant over inexperienced color (yy) and wrinkled shape (rr).
- Mendel ascertained that the F2 issue of hybridizing had a 9:3:3:1 as makeup magnitude relation and created 9 plants with spherical yellow seeds, 3 plants with spherical inexperienced seeds, 3 plants with wrinkled yellow seeds and one plant with wrinkled inexperienced seeds. during this he found that spherical yellow and inexperienced wrinkled area unit parental mixtures whereas spherical inexperienced and yellow wrinkled area unit new mixtures.
- In a hybridizing between 2 plants having spherical yellow (RRYY) and wrinkled inexperienced seeds (rryy), four varieties of gametes (RY, Ry, rY, ry) area unit created. every of those segregate independent of every alternative, every having a frequency of twenty fifth of the full gametes created.
- From the experiment, he ended that once 2 pairs of traits area unit combined during a hybrid, one combine of character segregates independent of the opposite combine of character. this can be referred to as law of independent assortment.
