A dominant trait is one that is expressed when a single copy of the gene is present. In his experiments with pea plants, Gregor Mendel described traits like tallness and yellow seed color as dominant.

What is the kind of trait that seemed to appear in the offspring produced in Mendel's first experiment?

A dominant trait appeared in the offspring produced in Mendel's first experiment.


What term did Mendel use to describe a trait that emerged in the F1 generation?

Mendel used the term "dominant" to describe a trait that emerged in the F1 generation.


Mendel referred to the characteristic that was expressed in the hybrid F1 or first filial generation as?

Mendel referred to the characteristic expressed in the hybrid F1 generation as the dominant trait. This trait masks the expression of the recessive allele in the heterozygous individual.


Is it true that mendel assumed that a dominant allele had masked the corresponding recessive allele in the f1 generation?

Yes, Gregor Mendel's principle of dominance stated that in the F1 generation, the dominant allele would mask the expression of the corresponding recessive allele. This means that only the dominant trait would be observed in the offspring.


Did Gregor Mendel find that the dominant trait prevents the expression of the recessive trait?

False..............


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 did Mendel mean by a dominant factor?

Mendel meant that a dominant factor is a gene that expresses its trait in an individual when present with the corresponding recessive gene. The dominant allele masks the expression of the recessive allele in a heterozygous individual.


What does Gregor Mendel law of dominance state?

Mendel's law of dominance states that if you have a pair of genes then the one that shows up in the offspring is most likely the dominant gene because the dominant is passed along more often than the recessive.
