Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dominant genes are expressed and have effects that always appear in the offspring.

Answer: M
 Homozygous genes have two alleles that are the same and always express the same trait in the offspring.

Answer: H
 Trisomy refers to having an extra copy of a chromosome, which can result in genetic disorders such as Down syndrome.

Answer: I
 Punnett squares are used to predict the probability of certain traits appearing in offspring based on the parents' genotypes.

Answer: J
 Genome refers to the complete set of an organism's DNA, including all of its genes.

Answer: K
 Sex chromosomes are the chromosomes that determine an individual's biological sex, such as the X and Y chromosomes in humans.

Answer: L
 Heterozygous genes have two different alleles and may express different traits in the offspring, depending on which allele is dominant.

Answer: N
 Genetics is the study of heredity and how traits are passed down from one generation to the next.

Answer: A
 Recessive genes are only expressed if both alleles are recessive and do not have effects that always appear in the offspring.

Answer: B
 Codominance occurs when both alleles of a gene are expressed at the same time and have equal effects on the phenotype.
