Answer 7

FULLY OR PARTIALLY MASKED BY ITS PARTNER; FULLY EXPRESSED ONLY WHEN PAIRED WITH ANOTHER RECESSIVE ALLELE

HAS 2 IDENTICAL ALLELES AT A GIVEN GENE LOCUS

Question 11

HETEROZYGOUS PAIR

Answer 11

NON IDENTICAL ALLELES AT A PARTICULAR LOCUS ON THE HOMOLOGOUS CHROMOSOME

Question 12

PHENOTYPE

Answer 12

OBSERVABLE TRAIT/S OF AN INDIVIDUAL

Question 13

GENOTYPE

Answer 13

GENETIC CONSTITUTION OF AN INDIVIDUAL

Question 14

PUREBRED

Answer 14

ORGANISMS THAT POSSESS HOMOZYGOUS CHARACTERISTICS

Question 15

HYBRID

Answer 15

ORGANISMS THAT POSSESS CHARACTERISTICS RESULTING FROM HETEROZYGOUS ALLELES

Question 16

LAW OF DOMINANCE (MENDELIAN LAW)

Answer 16

THE DOMINANT ALLELE WILL BE FULLY EXPRESSED WHILE THE RECESSIVE ALLELE WILL HAVE NO EFFECT

Question 17

LAW OF SEGREGATION (MENDELIAN LAW)

Answer 17

THE 2 ALLELES FOR A CHARACTERISTIC WILL SEGREGATE DURING MEIOSIS

Question 18

LAW OF INDEPENDENT ASSORTMENT (MENDELIAN LAW)

Answer 18

THE PAIR OF ALLELES SEGREGATE INDEPENDENTLY

Question 19

INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE (NON-MENDELIAN LAW)

Answer 19

2 DOMINANT ALLLES COMBINE TO FORM A PHENOTYPE THAT IS IN BETWEEN THOSE 2 ALLELES; THE EXPRESSED TRAIT IS NOT CHARACTERISTICS OF THE ORIGINAL ALLELE

Question 20

CODOMINANCE (NON-MENDELIAN LAW)

Answer 20

2 DOMINANT ALLELES COMBINE AND BOTH CHARACTERISTICS ARE EXPRESSED AND ARE DISCERNIBLE

Question 21

SEX-LINKED (NON-MENDELIAN LAW)

Answer 21

GENES FOR A SPECIFIC TRAIT ARE CARRIED BY SEX CHROMOSOMES OF ORGANISMS
