• C) traits can be dominant or recessive, and the recessive traits were obscured by the dominant ones in the F₁.
• D) the traits were lost in the F₁ due to dominance of the parental traits.
• E) members of the F₁ generation had only one allele for each trait, but members of the F₂ had two alleles for each trait.
