Question

mendel’s law of _______, states that one trait will conceal the presence of another trait for the same characteristic.

Explanation:

• Independent assortment describes how different genes separate independently during gamete formation, not trait concealment.
• Segregation refers to the separation of allele pairs during gamete production, not trait masking.
• Dominance is the principle where a dominant trait masks (conceals) the expression of a recessive trait for the same characteristic, matching the description.
• Phenotypes are the observable physical traits, not a Mendelian law.

○ dominance
