1.	Question :" It is possible that a trait is inherited but may not be expressed." Give a suitable example to justify this statement.
Answer» Solution : Yes, it is possible that a trait is inherited but MAY not be expressed. For example, when pure tall PEA plants are crossed with pure dwarf pea plants, only tall pea plants are OBTAINED in `F_1` GENERATION. On selfing tall plants of `F_1`, both tall and dwarf plants are obtained in `F_2` generation in the ratio 3:1. Reappearance of the dwarf character, a recessive trait in `F_2` generation shows that the dwarf. trait was PRESENT in individuals of `F_1` but it did not express .
