Verified step by step guidance1
Gregor Mendel, known as the father of genetics, conducted experiments with pea plants to understand how traits are inherited.
In his experiments, Mendel observed that certain traits appeared in the F1 generation while others were masked or hidden.
Mendel used the term 'recessive' to describe the trait that was masked in the F1 generation. This means that the recessive trait does not appear when paired with a dominant trait.
A recessive trait will only be expressed in the phenotype if an organism inherits two recessive alleles, one from each parent.
Understanding the concept of recessive traits is crucial for studying inheritance patterns and predicting the likelihood of certain traits appearing in offspring.
