Question 40 • Biology

Which statement describes the cap f sub 1 generation of a Mendelian monohybrid cross between two true-breeding parents?

Answer
A
Both the dominant and recessive traits are visible in the cap f sub 1 generation.
B
Only the dominant trait is visible in the cap f sub 1 generation.
C
Neither the dominant nor recessive trait is visible in the cap f sub 1 generation.
D
Only the recessive trait is visible in the cap f sub 1 generation.

Explanation

In a monohybrid cross between two true-breeding parents with contrasting traits, each F₁ offspring inherits one allele from each parent and is heterozygous. The dominant allele masks the recessive allele, so only the dominant trait is visible in the F₁ generation. Therefore, the correct choice is “Only the dominant trait is visible in the F₁ generation.”
