Question

match the following terms to the correct example or definition. there is one best answer for each definition. dominant allele recessive allele homozygous dominant homozygous recessive genotype phenotype heterozygous drag & drop the answer always has a capital letter such as capital d or capital t examples include dd, tt, ee examples include dd, tt, ee always consists of lower case letters such as lower case d or lower case t the genetic makeup of a trait the physical expression of a trait that can be seen in an organism such as eye color or skin color examples include dd, tt, ee

Explanation:

• dominant allele: A dominant allele is represented by a capital letter (e.g., B), so it matches "Always has a capital letter such as capital D or capital T".
• recessive allele: A recessive allele is represented by a lowercase letter (e.g., b), so it matches "Always consists of lower case letters such as lower case d or lower case t".
• homozygous dominant: Has two identical dominant alleles (e.g., BB), so it matches "Examples include DD, TT, EE".
• homozygous recessive: Has two identical recessive alleles (e.g., bb), so it matches "Examples include dd, tt, ee".
• genotype: Refers to the genetic makeup of a trait (e.g., BB, Bb, bb), so it matches "The genetic makeup of a trait".
• phenotype: Refers to the physical expression of a trait (e.g., purple or white flowers), so it matches "The physical expression of a trait that can be seen in an organism such as eye color or skin color".
• heterozygous: Has two different alleles (e.g., Bb), so it matches "Examples include Dd, Tt, Ee".

Answer:

• dominant allele: Always has a capital letter such as capital D or capital T
• recessive allele: Always consists of lower case letters such as lower case d or lower case t
• homozygous dominant: Examples include DD, TT, EE
• homozygous recessive: Examples include dd, tt, ee
• genotype: The genetic makeup of a trait
• phenotype: The physical expression of a trait that can be seen in an organism such as eye color or skin color
• heterozygous: Examples include Dd, Tt, Ee
