HARD QUESTION!!! genetics, explain how a recessive allele that is fatal to a zygous individual can remain?

If the trait is only fatal to people who have both alleles for that trait, it can still be ped through heterozygous people ("carriers"), since the dominant allele would mask the recessive trait - true regardless of whether the trait was ped as a completely dominant inheritance type, or co-dominant or incomplete dominance.
