Questions and Answers

What is true about alleles in relation to dominance?

All alleles contribute equally to the phenotype.

Alleles have no impact on traits.

Only recessive alleles can appear in the phenotype.

One allele often dominates and obscures the presence of another. (correct)

In a typical F₂ generation, what proportion of offspring would be expected to show the dominant trait?

1/2 will show the dominant trait.

1/4 will show the dominant trait.

All offspring will show the dominant trait.

3/4 will show the dominant trait. (correct)

Which of the following statements about traits in the F₂ generation is accurate?

The F₂ generation expresses traits derived from both parents of the P generation. (correct)

The F₂ generation shows a uniform expression of all traits.

The traits in the F₂ generation have no relation to the traits of the P generation.

The traits in the F₂ generation come exclusively from only one parent.

Study Notes

Dominance in Traits

Usually, one allele is dominant and hides the recessive allele
Organisms have two factors (genes) that control traits
Alleles are different forms of a gene
Example: Tall vs. short, yellow vs. green
3/4 of F2 generation were tall
1/4 of F2 generation were short
F2 generation has traits from both parents in the P generation
