PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Dominant traits are those that are inherited unchanged in a hybridization. Recessive traits become latent, or disappear in the offspring of a hybridization. The recessive trait does, however, reappear in the progeny of the hybrid offspring. An example of a dominant trait is the violet-colored flower trait.

Detailed explanation-2: -Recessive alleles are only expressed when no dominant allele is present.

Detailed explanation-3: -Unaffected parents can produce affected offspring if both parents are carriers (heterozygous) for the trait being tracked in the pedigree. Recessive traits are typically not expressed in every generation.
