Answer 7

Genotype

Question 8

What is a dominant alleles and recessive alleles?

Answer 8

Dominant alleles shows its characteristics and suppresses the effects of recessive alleles

Recessive allele only shows its trait when both alleles are recessive alleles. Effects of recessive alleles is suppressed by the dominant alleles

Answer 9

Both alleles at the loci of a pair of homologous chromosomes are the same

Heterozygote are alleles at loci of homologous chromosomes are different

Answer 11

pair of recessive alleles
