Question

question 3
susie explains to her peer, \dominant traits disappear in the offspring of a hybridization while recessive traits will be inherited unchanged in hybridization.\ is susie correct?
yes.
no, dominant and recessive traits will be expressed equally in offspring of a hybridization
no, the expression of dominant and recessive traits in offspring is unpredictable
no, dominant traits are inherited unchanged while recessive traits will disappear in the offspring of a hybridization

Explanation:

According to Mendelian genetics, when there is a hybridization (for example, a cross between two pure - breeding parents with different traits, say \(AA\) (dominant) and \(aa\) (recessive)), the offspring (\(Aa\)) will show the dominant trait. In a self - cross of \(Aa\times Aa\), the ratio of dominant to recessive traits in the offspring is \(3:1\) (phenotypic ratio). Dominant traits are not lost in hybridization. Recessive traits can be masked in the first - generation hybrid but can reappear in subsequent generations.

Answer:

No, dominant traits are inherited unchanged while recessive traits will disappear in the offspring of a hybridization.
