Question

question 5 according to mendel, if an individual is heterozygous for a specific gene, the phenotype will be that of
a the recessive trait alone.
b the dominant trait alone.
c a blend of the dominant and recessive traits.
d a wild - type trait.
question 6 which of the following is a phenotype?
a long tongue
b tt
c t
d tthh
e three of these are correct answers

Explanation:

For Question 5, Mendel's law of dominance states that in a heterozygous individual, the dominant allele masks the recessive allele, so the phenotype is that of the dominant trait. For Question 6, a phenotype is the observable physical or physiological trait of an organism. 'long tongue' is an observable trait, while 'Tt', 'T', and 'Tthh' are genotypes representing genetic makeup.

Answer:

Question 5: B. the dominant trait alone.
Question 6: A. long tongue
