The reason for recessive genes not disappearing is because there is always a different gene that you can pass on through your offspring

What traits seems to disappear when two different genes for same trait are present?

Recessive


According to Mendel what kind of genes disappear in F1 pea plants?

No genes disappear in the F1 generation. Each of the F1 plants was heterozygous, having both dominant and recessive alleles. The recessive phenotype disappears in the F1 generation because all members of that generation carry a dominant allele. In the F2 generation, the recessive phenotype will reappear.

Can recessive genes become dominant?

Recessive genes do not become dominant. Dominant genes mask the expression of recessive genes in the presence of both alleles. However, if a recessive gene is selected for over time through breeding, it can become more prevalent in a population.


When traits seem to disappear when two different genes for the same trait are present?

NO, the traits do not disappear they are simply "masked". According to Mendelian theory there are DOMINANT (A) and RECESSIVE (a) traits. When Aa is present the recessive trait is masked therefore it does not show up. These are called alleles.

Do dominant genes affect recessive genes?

The dominant genes take over, and then the recessive genes hide away


Which genes are dominant and which are recessive?

Dominant genes are always expressed in preference to recessive genes in cased where both genes are present.
