How do the traits are not manifested in the parents show up in offspring?

Certain traits can remain dormant and still be passed on to offspring. If a child has traits that neither parent possesses, chances are that it could have come from farther down the line.

The combination of genes in which a mixture of both traits show is called what?
Heterogeneous is when offspring inherits mixed genes from both parents.
Are recessive traits are always shown in an organism offspring?
No, a recessive trait will only show in the offspring if there is no dominant allele masking it. The trait that will always show in the offspring is the dominant allele, provided one parent was homozygous for it.
Are Recessive traits always shown in an organism's offspring?
No, a recessive trait will only show in the offspring if there is no dominant allele masking it. The trait that will always show in the offspring is the dominant allele, provided one parent was homozygous for it.
When offspring show a blend of the parents traits one allele is dominant over the other?
The results in the offspring hinge on the genetic make up of the parents. Each expressed trait is either the result of a dominant or recessive phenotype. The relative dominance or recessiveness of the alleles doesn't change only the rate at which they are expressed based on the allele present for each obseerved trait in the parents.
When two true-breeding pea plants that show contrasting traits care crossed all of the offspring show?
one form of a character
What are facts about square?
it show which traits will result when two parents have offspring...... :)
For a codominant traiit do the offspring of identical parents always look like the parent why?
No, the offspring of identical parents would not always look like the parents because everyone has dominant and recessive traits, where the recessive traits do not show but is still in DNA. That said, recessive traits not shown in parents can be passed on as dominant traits to offspring - making offspring not always identical to its parents. (this is also called genetic variation)

Who was the first person to show how traits are passed from parents to offspring?
Gregor Mendel is basically known for being the founder of genetics through testing with peas and noticing traits passing down.
Who are the scientists who contributed to the cell theory and spontaneous generation?
Greg Wendel was the person who developed the cell theory in recessive and dominant traits. He studied generation to generation on plants and saw which traits would show up in the next generation he discovered how traits showed up from parents to offspring.
Are Recessive traits always shown in an organism's offspring?
No, a recessive trait will only show in the offspring if there is no dominant allele masking it. The trait that will always show in the offspring is the dominant allele, provided one parent was homozygous for it.

What is the principle of independence party?
the law of independent assortment was formulated by Mendel. Alleles separate independently during the process of gamete production. The offspring show traits independent of the parents.
Explain how Mendel's particulate hypothesis is different from the blending hypothesis of inheritance?
Mendel showed in his experiments that inherited traits are not passed through the blending of inheritance theory. According to the blending of inheritance theory, an offspring's traits are a blend between the traits of the parent organisms. In Mendel's experiments however, he showed that this was not true, and that inheritance is actually based on genes, through the observation of recessive traits. He observed that an offspring could have a trait that neither of the parents had, which is now explained through both of the parents having the recessive gene for the trait, but not showing it because they are heterozygous dominant. There is a 25% chance that the offspring of two heterozygous dominant parents will produce a homozygous recessive offspring that will show the trait that neither of the parents shows.

What is a punnet square?
A punnet square is a diagram showing the gene combination that might result from a genetic cross and it can be bigger than 2x2A diagram that is used to predict an outcome of a particular cross or breeding experiment is called punnet square.
