Solution

The correct option is B Alleles do not show any blending and both the characters recover as such in $F_{2}$ generation

Expression of an allele in a pair of contrasting pair of characters, in heterozygous organisms is called Law of Dominance. It is the first law of Mendel’s laws of inheritance. In this, expressed trait is called Dominant character and not expressed character is called recessive character. The contrasing character in a pair not mixed or blends with one another.
So, the correct option is ‘Alleles do not show any blending and both the characters recover as such as F₂generation.
