Antworten
  • An allele
  • A locus
  • A gentoype
  • A phenotype

Frage 8

Frage
A locus is:
Antworten
  • The position of a chromosome in a cell
  • The position of a gene on a chromosome
  • The position of a protein on a chromosome
  • The position of a cell in the body

Frage 9

Frage 12

Frage
Dominance in genetics refers to:
Antworten
  • Where one allele has very little effect over another allele
  • Where one allele is as effective as another allele
  • Where one allele complements the effect of another allele
  • Where one allele masks the effect of another allele

Frage 13

Frage
Recessive in genetics refers to:
Antworten
  • When an allele's effect is only expressed in the heterozygous condition
  • When an allele's effect is only expressed in the homozygous condition
  • When an allele's effect is never expressed
  • When an allele's effect is always expressed

Frage 28

Frage
The Law of Segregation states that:
Antworten
  • Cells have two factors for each trait and these factors separate at fertilisation
  • Cells have two factors for each trait and these factors separate at gamete formation
  • Cells have one factor for each trait and this factor separates from all others at gamete formation
