Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Homozygous refers to having two identical genes for a single trait.

Answer: G
 Dominant refers to an allele that is expressed over another allele.

Answer: K
 Sex chromosome refers to the pair of chromosomes that determine an individual's sex.

Answer: I
 Punnett square is a tool used to predict the probability of offspring from a genetic cross.

Answer: J

Answer: F
 Sex-linked trait refers to a trait that is determined by genes located on the sex chromosomes.

Answer: A
 Recessive refers to an allele that is only expressed in the absence of a dominant allele.

Answer: C
 Monosomy refers to the presence of only one copy of a chromosome instead of the usual two.

Answer: D
 Autosome refers to any chromosome that is not a sex chromosome.

Answer: H
 Trisomy refers to the presence of three copies of a chromosome instead of the usual two.

Answer: L
 Heterozygous refers to having two different genes for a single trait.

Answer: B
