∙ 10y agoGregor Mendel was able to determine traits by the ratio in which they appeared. For instance, he determined that a recessive trait will show up 25 percent of the time if one parent has it.

∙ 10y agoMendel crossed pea plants with contrasting traits and observed the offspring. He found that one trait (dominant) masked the expression of the other (recessive) in the first generation. By allowing the plants to self-fertilize over multiple generations, he determined the patterns of inheritance and identified the ratios of dominant to recessive traits in the offspring.

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.
The ratio of dominant to recessive traits in the F2 generation of Mendel's experiments was 3:1. This is known as the phenotypic ratio for a monohybrid cross, where three individuals display the dominant trait for every one individual displaying the recessive trait.
Mendel's law of inheritance.

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.
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.
This is Mendel's principle of dominance. Dominant alleles will always mask the presence of recessive alleles in a heterozygous genotype.

Mendel called the observed trait the dominant trait and the trait that seemed to disappear the recessive trait.
The ratio of dominant to recessive phenotype in the F2 generation of Mendel's experiment was 3:1. This means that for every 3 individuals expressing the dominant trait, there was 1 individual expressing the recessive trait.
did research on dominant and recessive traits.

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.
Mendel proposed the concept of dominant and recessive alleles that determine trait expression in offspring. Through his experiments, he discovered that traits can disappear in one generation due to being masked by dominant alleles, but can reappear in future generations when those recessive alleles are passed down and expressed. This pattern of inheritance is now known as Mendelian genetics.
Gregor Mendel, an Austrian monk, is credited with discovering dominant and recessive traits through his work with pea plants in the mid-19th century. Mendel's experiments laid the foundation for the field of genetics.
