When will a trait controlled by a recessive allele be shown?
only when two recessive alleles are present
Is recessive allele the one which is hidden whenever the dominant is present?
Yes. However, in some cases the recessive will be shown.
Why are two recessive alleles needed for a recesssive trait to be shown?
bcoz in case of one dominant and one recessive, dominant allele will express its characters and suppresses the recessive ones. so for the expression of recessive characters both allele should be recessive.
How did mendel find out whether the recessive allele were still present in the f1 plants?
he breeded the f1 plants with a recessive homozygous plant and if the offspring (f2) showed the recessive allele, then the recessive allele is still present in the f1 plant
What is an Dominant allele?
A dominant allele is a gene that holds a certain characteristic that is superior to a recessive allele. The dominant allele ALWAYS has its trait shown in the body of the recipient, except when both alleles in a gene are recessive.

Yes. However, in some cases the recessive will be shown.
How are dominant and recessive alleles are represented in a punnet square?
Dominant alleles are shown by a capital letter and recessive alleles are lowercase letters.

What happens to the recessive allele in a heterozygous offspring?
The recessive allele is present, but not shown in complete dominance. This is because the dominant allele is completely dominant over the recessive allele, therefore it is shown, while the recessive allele is hidden.
Why are some parents traits expressed in their offspring and others are not?
Some traits are recessive and some are dominant. The recessive trait could be masked/hidden because of the dominant trait. Two copies of recessive alleles are needed to be shown in the phenotype.
What is an Dominant allele?
A dominant allele is a gene that holds a certain characteristic that is superior to a recessive allele. The dominant allele ALWAYS has its trait shown in the body of the recipient, except when both alleles in a gene are recessive.
When a trait has more than two alleles is that trait inherited?
If one parent has a dominant trait and and another parent has a recessive trait, then the recessive trait gets hidden while the dominant trait gets shown.
Why a plant with yellow pods can never be a hybrid?
Yellow pods are a recessive trait and for this type of trait to show in the phenotype, both alleles have to be recessive. If there was a recessive allele (yellow) and a dominant allele(green) as it shows in hybrid pods, then the dominant allele would be the one shown and the pod would be green.
