Question

complete the sentence using one of the following words: heterozygous, homozygous, or homologous.
in mendels experiments, the symbol gg represents the recessive genotype for pod color.

Explanation:

To determine the term for \( gg \) in Mendel's experiments:

• Heterozygous has two different alleles (e.g., \( Gg \)).
• Homozygous has two identical alleles. \( gg \) has two identical recessive alleles, so it is homozygous recessive.
• Homologous refers to chromosome pairs, not genotypes.

Thus, \( gg \) is homozygous (specifically homozygous recessive).

Answer:

homozygous
