In a F2 generation of 80 individuals, you would expect about 3 individuals to show a trait that follows a typical Mendelian inheritance pattern with a 3:1 ratio in the offspring generation. This is based on the expected ratio of 1:2:1 for a heterozygous cross.
When you cross two F1 individuals (both being heterozygous for a trait, for example, Aa), the expected genotype ratio in the F2 generation would be 1 AA : 2 Aa : 1 aa. The phenotype ratio, assuming A is dominant over a, would typically be 3 dominant phenotype (AA and Aa) to 1 recessive phenotype (aa). Therefore, you would expect three individuals displaying the dominant trait for every one individual displaying the recessive trait in the F2 generation.
A trait that confers a survival or reproductive advantage is known as an adaptation. These traits are typically passed down from generation to generation through natural selection, leading to better fitness and success in a specific environment relative to individuals lacking that trait.
The recessive trait phenotype disappears in a one-trait test cross in the F1 generation. This phenotype can reappear in the F2 generation.
In genetics, traits that reappear in the second generation are typically referred to as recessive traits. These traits may not be expressed in the first generation (F1) due to the dominance of a different trait but can resurface when the F1 individuals are crossed. This reappearance is a result of the segregation of alleles during gamete formation, allowing the recessive phenotype to manifest in some offspring of the second generation (F2).
A dominant genetic trait appears in every generation of offspring because only one copy of the dominant allele is needed for the trait to be expressed.

In the F2 generation of monohybrids, the recessive trait can reappear in a ratio of 3:1 along with the dominant trait. This is because recessive traits can be masked in the F1 generation but resurface in the F2 generation due to genetic segregation.
0. Unless there is a germline mosaicism or sporadic mutation in the fertilized embryo.

recessive trait
The ability of a trait to be passed down from one generation to the next is called heritability. This reflects the proportion of variability in a specific trait that can be attributed to genetic differences among individuals in a population.
The term for when a trait skips a generation is called "recessive inheritance."

Dominant trait
True
The trait observed in the first generation when parents with different traits are bred is known as the dominant trait. This trait is expressed in the offspring because it masks the expression of the recessive trait.
