he called the observed traits dominant and the disapear traits recessive.
Dominant traits are observed while recessive traits are not.

A trait that masks another trait is called dominant, or a dominant trait.
A dominant trait.
Phenotype is the observed trait. The dominant trait in this case is observed- D
Mendel's finding showed that phenotypic traits in pea plants were inherited in discrete packages and at predictable frequencies. Mendel proposed two laws the first being the law of independent segregation in which a parent plant passed only one copy of a trait to the offspring. This law was later understood with the discovery of meiosis. His second law was the Law of independent assortment stated that these traits met randomly in the offspring. The combination of these laws in real life gave rise to the set ratios that Mendel observed in life ie 3:1 ratio for a single trait.
Mendel believed in the principle of separation. This occurs during the formation of gametes and the pair of genes that control a trait separate.
A dominant trait appeared in the offspring produced in Mendel's first experiment.
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.
recessive
Mendel called the trait that was always expressed the dominant trait.
A trait that masks another trait is called dominant, or a dominant trait.
dominant trait?
Round and wrinkled seeds were observed by Mendel in Pea plant while experimenting on its hybridization process. Round or wrinkled stage of seed is a physical trait in pea plant.
Recessive Trait
Mendel's experiments showed the characteristics of genes that express complete dominance--that is, traits where one allele is completely dominant over another, and the recessive allele does not appear in the phenotype at all. Some of the specific traits that Mendel was testing include pea color (yellow or green, with green being completely dominant) pea surface texture (wrinkled or smooth, with smooth being dominant) and flower color (pink and white, with pink being dominant.)
As a result of his experiments with dihybrid crosses, Mendel observed that the presence of one trait had no affect on the presence of another trait. Gregor Mendel was a scientist who became known as the founder of modern genetic science.
Well, gregor mendel studied the heredity of living things. He used for about 28,000 pea plants to cross-pollinate and self pollinate them. He also used and made the punnet square which helped him in the first and second expiriment. In the 1st expiriment he cross pollinate two pea plants and one trait appear in all of the offspring. That was called the dominant trait and the trait that disappear was called the recessive trait. When he did his 2nd expiriment the recessive trait appear again!

Mendel used the term hybrid when referring to a trait with two unlike alleles.
