What type of trait in mendel's studies could vanish in one generation and reappear in the next generation?
stira [4]

Recessive traits often seem to disappear because two recessive alleles are needed to produce the recessive phenotype. They can skip a generation and then reappear if an individual inherits two copies of the recessive gene. Mendel's experiments revealed that phenotypes could be hidden in one generation, only to reemerge in subsequent generations.

Recessive traits disappear because recessive alleles can hide out in heterozygotes, allowing them to persist in gene pools and natural selection can only see the phenotype, not the genotype. While harmful recessive alleles will be selected against and it's almost impossible for recessive alleles to completely disappear from a gene pool.
