Questions and Answers

What does the Law of Dominance state?

  • Both alleles are equally expressed in the phenotype.
  • The dominant allele completely masks the expression of the recessive allele. (correct)
  • Individuals of the F1 generation will display the recessive trait.
  • Offspring with intermediate phenotype are produced.

Which genetic concept involves having more than two alternative forms of a gene at the same locus?

  • Multiple Alleles (correct)
  • Incomplete Dominance
  • Complete Dominance
  • Co-dominance

What is a Monohybrid Cross?

  • A genetic situation where both alleles are equally expressed.
  • A genetic cross involving two different characteristics.
  • A genetic cross involving only one characteristic. (correct)
  • A genetic cross with complete dominance.
