Mendelian Genetics

The form of a gene that is always expressed if present is the ________form.

• recessive
• dominant
• heterozygous

• homologous

What law BEST explains why an organism with ‘Tt’ will show only the dominant phenotype?

• Law of Segregation
• Law of Independent Assortment
• Law of Heredity
• Law of Dominance

If an organism inherits one dominant allele and one recessive allele for eye color, their genotype would be:

• haploid

• homozygous

• heterozygous

• homologous
