Traits seem to disappear when two different genes for the same trait are present?
NO, the traits do not disappear they are simply "masked". According to Mendelian theory there are DOMINANT (A) and RECESSIVE (a) traits. When Aa is present the recessive trait is masked therefore it does not show up. These are called alleles.
What is the name of a weak trait that is masked by a stronger trait?
.
What did mendel call the trait that always showed up?
Mendel called the trait that was always expressed the dominant trait.
What did mendel call a masking trait?
dominant trait?
What was the main experiments Gregor Mendel carried out?
In mendels first experiments, he crossed pea plants to study seven different characteristics. For example he crossed plants that had purple flowers with plants that had whit flowers, the offsprings from such a cross are called first- generation plants. All of his first generation plants had purple flowers. One trait was always present in the first generation , and the other trait seemed to disappear. Mendel chose to call the trait that appeared the dominant trait. Because the other trait seemed to fade into the background, Mendel called it recessive trait.
Is it true that mendel assumed that a dominant allele had masked the corresponding recessive allele in the f1 generation?
No. A recessive trait is masked by a dominant trait.
Trait of an organism that can be masked by the dominant by the dominant form of a trait?
A trait that masks another trait is called dominant, or a dominant trait.

Trait of an organism that can be masked by the dominant form of a trait?
A recessive trait is one that is not expressed when paired with a dominant trait. It may only be visually evident when both copies of the gene carry the recessive form.
What did mendel call the trait that always showed up?
Mendel called the trait that was always expressed the dominant trait.
What did Mendel call the observed trait and the trait that seemed to disappear?
he called the observed traits dominant and the disapear traits recessive.
What is the name of a trait that is masked?
Recessive
What did mendel call a masking trait?
dominant trait?
When a trait seems to disappear or doesnt show up often?
Recessive Trait
