Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Polymorphic genes have two or more alleles at a given gene locus, creating genetic variability within a population.

Answer: D 
 Codominant genes occur when both alleles at a given gene locus are expressed in the phenotype, resulting in a distinct trait or phenotype.

Answer: C 
 Amorphic genes are also known as null or knockout genes, and are characterized by a complete loss of gene function due to a mutation.

Answer: B 
 Recessive genes are only expressed in the phenotype when an individual inherits two copies of the recessive allele.

Answer: A 
 Haplotypes refer to a group of genes that are inherited together because they are located close together on a chromosome.
