Question 1 options:

genotype

heterozygous

alleles

Principle of Segregation

monohybrid cross

homozygous

The offspring produced when two haploid gametes containing the same allele fuse during fertilization.

To follow the behavior of two variations of a single trait in a cross.

The total set of alleles that an individual contains

The first law of heredity states that two alleles for a gene segregate during gamete formation.

The offspring produced when two haploid gametes containing different alleles fuse during fertilization.

The alternative forms of a single gene that exist in a population.

Question 2 (6 points)

Match the terms to the definitions provided.

Question 2 options:

codominant

incomplete dominance

pleiotropic

continuous variation

polygenic inheritance

epistasis

The heterozygote is intermediate in appearance between the two homozygotes.

A gradation that results from a contribution of different combinations of alleles to a single trait.

An allele that has more than one effect on the phenotype of an individual.

Each allele has its own effect and some aspect of both alleles is seen in the heterozygote.

A situation in which the expression of one gene influences the phenotypic expression of a second.

The action of more than one gene can affect a single trait.

Explanation / Answer

1. Q.

Genotype- Total set of alleles that an individual contains

Heterozygous - The offsprings produced when two haploid gametes containg different alleles fused

Alleles - The alternative forms of a single gene that exist in a population

Principle of segregation - The first law of hereditary states that two alleles of a gene segregates during the formation of gametes

Monohybrid cross - To follow the behaviour of two variations of single trait in a cross

Homozygous - The offsprings produced when two haploid gametes containing the same alleles fused.

Q.2

Codominant - Each allele has its own effect and some aspects of both alleles is seen in the heterozygous condition

Incomplete dominance - The heterozygote is intermediate in appearance between the two homozygotes

Pleiotropic - An allele that has more than one effect on the phenotype of an individual.

Continuous variation- A gradation that results from contribution of different combinations of alleles

Polygenic inheritance - The action of more than one gene can affect a single trait

Epistasis- A situation in which expression of one gene influences the phenotypic expression
