What happened in Mendel’s experiments when a pea plant received two different alleles for the same trait?

Answer: The correct answer is C. The recessive allele was hidden by the dominant allele.
Alleles are the different forms of a gene, which correspond to a specific trait of the organism. They can be dominant ( generally denoted by capital letter) or recessive ( denoted by small letter).
The dominant allele expresses itself even in heterozygous ( like Tt fall tallness) state whereas recessive expresses itself when present only in the homozygous state ( tt for dwarfness).
In Mendel’s experiments when a pea plant received two different alleles for the same trait, the recessive allele was hidden by the dominant allele.

The organs of the urinary system include the kidneys, renal pelvis, ureters, bladder and urethra.
The function of the urinary system is to filter blood and thus produce urine as a waste by-product. The body absorbs nutrients from food and converts them into energy. After the body has gained the required food nutrients, certain waste by-products remain in the bowel as well as in the blood.
The urinary system assists the body in eliminating liquid waste called urea with the help of kidneys, and also maintains fluid balance i.e. water and mineral (like sodium, potassium) balance.
Urea is transported to the kidneys via the bloodstream. It is finally removed together with water and certain other wastes in the form of urine.
