Is a dominant trait seen in the first generation or the second generation?

Dominant traits tend to manifest whenever they are inherited.
The real question is, "When do you see recessive traits?"
Traits are coded in genes. We all inherit genes from both of our parents. If the dominant trait is capital Y and the recessive trait is lowercase y we can calculate the odds fairly easily. There are only four combinations that can be inherited from one pair of parents: YY, Yy, yY, and yy (this is usually visualized using a "punnet square").
Only in the case of both inherited traits being lowercase y will we see the recessive trait. Otherwise, we will usually see the dominant trait.

If an offspring receives a pair of trait-controllers containing both a dominant and a recessive trait what happens to the recessive trait?
The dominant trait is shown in that organism with the possibility of carrying either the dominant or recessive gene to the next generation
When plants that are true breeding for different traits of a characteristic are crossed the trait observed in the first generation is called the?
dominant
Which type of genetic trait appears in every generation of offspring?
the dominant trait
Explain Mendel's law of independent?
Mendel's Law - The first law of Mendel states that "In a cross of parents that are pure for contrasting traits, only one form of the trait will appear in the next generation. Offspring that are hybrid for a trait will have only the dominant trait in the phenotype."
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.
The observed trait in the first generation?
Dominant trait
The trait observed in the first generation when parents that have different traits are bred?
A dominant trait.
A trait that appears or is expressed in the f1 generation is what?
the dominant trait
When do you first learn which trait is dominant?
when observing the F1 generation of a monohybrid cross
Trait that shows up generation after generation?
DOMINANT-K-
If an offspring receives a pair of trait-controllers containing both a dominant and a recessive trait what happens to the 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.
