State
Particulate inheritance holds that hereditary factors, later identified as genes, whose alternative versions are alleles, remain discrete and unblended across generations, resurfacing intact even after skipping a generation entirely.
Show
A recessive white-flower factor, invisible in F1, reappeared in about a quarter of F2 plants.
Watch for
A factor's disappearance in F1 is not its destruction — particulate inheritance means it persists, masked, until F2.
