Question 1

Genotype

Answer 1

an individual’s allele combination

Question 2

phenotype

Answer 2

the visible trait that alleles cause

Question 3

homozygous

Answer 3

both the same allele

Question 4

heterozygous

Answer 4

two different alleles

Question 5

Dominant vs recessive

Answer 5

dominant- only takes one T allele to make a protein that causes the tall phenotype no matter what the other allele is
recessive- takes two t alleles to cause the short phenotype

Question 6

Explain how a test cross works

Answer 6

breeding the individual in question with a known homozygous recessive individual, and observing the phenotypes of the offspring.

Question 7

Contrast genotype and phenotype ratios in traits that are dominant/recessive vs. codominant

Answer 7

homozygous dominant (AA) and heterozygous (Aa) individuals have the same phenotype, while homozygous recessive (aa) individuals have a different phenotype.
