How many of the following statements are correct about Mendelian...
How many of the following statements are correct about Mendelian alleles?
(A). The dominant allele expresses itself in the presence of an alternative allele.
(B). The recessive allele does not express in the presence of the dominant allele.
(C). The hybrid produced in a cross between homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive is heterozygous.
(D). A homozygous individual for a trait breeds true and produces two different types of gametes.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
(A). The dominant allele expresses itself in the presence of an alternative allele.
(B). The recessive allele does not express in the presence of the dominant allele.
(C). The hybrid produced in a cross between homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive is heterozygous.
(D). A homozygous individual for a trait breeds true and produces two different types of gametes.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Options
- A(A), (B) and (D) only.
- B(A), (B) and (C) only.
- C(A), (B), (C) and (D).
- D(B), (C) and (D) only.
Correct answer
B. (A), (B) and (C) only.
Step-by-step solution
Statement (A) is correct. A dominant allele is defined as the one that expresses itself even in the presence of an alternative (recessive) allele in a heterozygous condition.
Statement (B) is correct. A recessive allele is masked and does not express its phenotypic effect in the presence of a dominant allele.
Statement (C) is correct. A cross between a homozygous dominant (e.g., ) and a homozygous recessive (e.g., ) yields an generation that is entirely heterozygous (Tt
