Questions and Answers

What is the process of alleles of a gene pair separating completely and cleanly from each other during meiosis known as?

  • Gene Assortment
  • Allele Combination
  • Allele Segregation
  • Independent Segregation (correct)

In a monohybrid cross, what is the result of crossing homozygous individuals that are different from each other at one gene locus?

  • All offspring will have the same genotype and phenotype
  • Offspring will have a mix of genotypes and phenotypes (correct)
  • There will be no offspring produced
  • The offspring will only inherit one gene from the parents

What is the result of a dihybrid cross involving two homozygous individuals that are different from each other at two gene loci?

  • All offspring will have the same genotype and phenotype
  • Offspring will have a mix of genotypes and phenotypes (correct)
  • There will be no offspring produced
  • The offspring will only inherit one gene from the parents
