If there are two forms of a trait and one is dominant over the other then an organism that is heterozygous will show the dominant trait. The recessive trait is present but is not seen in the organism. The F2 generation should show both parental phenotypes but in different percentages, this will demonstrate which trait is dominant (it will be the highest percentage) but the F1 will show the dominant trait directly.Bloom's
