Question

Mendel demonstrated which of the following about inherited traits? Check all that apply.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer would be -

certain traits are more likely to appear than their alternatives.

traits segregate among the offspring of a cross.

traits can be hidden in some generations, but subsequently, reappear unchanged in future generations.

parents that both have the same trait can have offspring with an alternative trait.

Explanation:

Mendel is known as the father of genetics for his tremendous work in the field of genetics by performing experiments on the pea plants which contribute to the make the law of inheritance. According to all three laws of inheritance and experiments performed by Mendel, he demonstrated inheritance patterns in the traits or the alleles inherited to the next generation.

Certain traits that are dominant are more likely to appear than their recessive alternatives. Trait segregates when gametes form during the cross. In heterozygous cases, some traits can be hidden but can reappear unchanged in future generations.
