Question

In Mendel’s experiments, the ${\text{F}}_1$ progeny resembles either of the two parents. The character that was not visible in this generation was:

• A. Recessive
• B. Dominant
• C. Wild
• D. Superior

Answer 1

The correct option is A Recessive

Out of the two contrasting characters of parents, only one would appear in the first generation (${\text{F}}_1$ ). This character which was expressed in the progenies of ${\text{F}}_1$ generation is called the dominant character, and the other character which remained hidden was the recessive character. Recessive character was expressed in the ${\text{F}}_2$ generation.
