No, recessive alleles are not visible in the F1 generation of true-breeding organisms. In the F1 generation, only dominant traits are expressed due to the presence of dominant alleles. Recessive traits would only be visible in the F2 generation if both parents carry and pass on the recessive allele.
The phenotype of TtCc would depend on what traits the genes T and C control. In general, if T and C are dominant alleles and control visible traits, the individual would likely exhibit the dominant phenotype for those traits. If T and C are recessive, the individual would need to be homozygous recessive (ttcc) to exhibit the recessive phenotype.
These traits are called dominant traits. They will overcome the recessive gene and the dominant trait will be expressed. A recessive gene needs two alleles present in its genotype to be expressed.
Mendel proposed the concept of dominant and recessive traits, where recessive traits are masked in the F1 generation but can reappear in the F2 generation when two carriers of the recessive trait combine and show the trait. This is known as the Law of Segregation, where pairs of alleles separate during gamete formation, leading to the reemergence of hidden traits.
Mendel called the observed trait the dominant trait and the trait that seemed to disappear the recessive trait.
Recessive traits were visible in the F2 generation of Mendel's experiments, where the offspring of the F1 generation showed a 3:1 ratio of dominant to recessive traits.

if the ratio had more recessive traits, like if you made a punnit square and you saw that there were more of the recessive traits (BB bb bb bb) then you know that the most common trait is the recessive one "bb" (considered as homozygous recessive ( i think))
Dominant traits are the traits that mask the recessive traits. The dominant traits are stronger than recessive!
They pass on traits. There are recessive traits and dominant traits. The dominant trait is normally the one that overpowers recessive
The phenotype of TtCc would depend on what traits the genes T and C control. In general, if T and C are dominant alleles and control visible traits, the individual would likely exhibit the dominant phenotype for those traits. If T and C are recessive, the individual would need to be homozygous recessive (ttcc) to exhibit the recessive phenotype.
In genetics, dominant traits are those that are expressed when an individual has one or two copies of the dominant allele, while recessive traits are only expressed when an individual has two copies of the recessive allele and no dominant allele present. Dominant traits often mask recessive traits in heterozygous individuals.
