A Law of segregation Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B hybrid cross Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C Law of purity Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D Law of dominance Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

In a heterozygote, the allele which masks the other is referred to as dominant, while the allele that is masked is referred to as recessive.

Key Points

  • Dominant alleles are expressed exclusively in a heterozygote, while recessive traits are expressed only if the organism is homozygous for the recessive allele.

  • A single allele may be dominant over one allele, but recessive to another.
