Question

match each term with its correct definition:

terms:

  • heterozygous
  • george mendell
  • probability
  • co-dominance
  • phenotype
  • dominant
  • genotype
  • homozygous
  • recessive

definitions:

  • genetic traits/genes of an individual
  • an individual with the same genotype
  • an individual with different genotypes
  • trait that will be expressed
  • neither trait appears, but a mixture appears
  • likelihood, or chance, that a certain event will occur

Explanation:

Analyze the column headers

Let's first reconstruct the column headers from the image, which are slightly cut off or wrapped:

  • Column 1: "Physical characteristics of an individual" (partially cut off as "al / stics / al")
  • Column 2: "Genetic traits/genes of an individual"
  • Column 3: "An individual with the SAME genotype" (referring to alleles, i.e., same alleles / homozygous)
  • Column 4: "An individual with DIFFERENT genotypes" (referring to alleles, i.e., different alleles / heterozygous)
  • Column 5: "Trait that will be expressed" (dominant trait)
  • Column 6: "Neither trait appears, but a mixture appears" (incomplete dominance, though the row options include "Co-Dominance" which is often grouped with non-Mendelian inheritance, or we match the terms to their best definitions)
  • Column 7: "Likelihood, or chance, that a certain event will occur" (probability)

Let's re-evaluate the columns based on standard genetic definitions:

  • Column 1: "Physical characteristics of an individual" (Phenotype)
  • Column 2: "Genetic traits/genes of an individual" (Genotype)
  • Column 3: "An individual with the SAME alleles" (Homozygous - the header says "SAME genotype" but in high school biology worksheets, this is a common typo for "SAME alleles")
  • Column 4: "An individual with DIFFERENT alleles" (Heterozygous - the header says "DIFFERENT genotypes" but refers to alleles)
  • Column 5: "Trait that will be expressed" (Dominant)
  • Column 6: "Neither trait appears, but a mixture appears" (This describes incomplete dominance, but let's look at the rows. The rows are: Heterozygous, George Mendel, Probability, Co-Dominance, Phenotype, Dominant, Genotype, Homozygous, Recessive. In many introductory curricula, "Co-Dominance" or "Incomplete Dominance" are matched here, or it's a general term. Let's match each row to its single best column).
  • Column 7: "Likelihood, or chance, that a certain event will occur" (Probability)

Let's check the pre-selected radio buttons in the image to confirm the column meanings:

  • Row "Genotype" has Column 2 selected ("Genetic traits/genes of an individual"). This matches perfectly.
  • Row "Homozygous" has Column 3 selected ("An individual with the SAME..."). This confirms Column 3 is Homozygous.
  • Row "Recessive" has Column 4 selected ("An individual with DIFFERENT..."). Wait, let's look closer at the image.

In the image:

  • Row "Genotype": Column 2 is selected.
  • Row "Homozygous": Column 3 is selected.
  • Row "Recessive": Column 4 is selected? No, let's look at the columns:
  • Column 1: "Physical characteristics..."
  • Column 2: "Genetic traits/genes..."
  • Column 3: "An Individual with the SAME genotype" (alleles)
  • Column 4: "An individual with DIFFERENT genotypes" (alleles)
  • Column 5: "Trait that will be expressed"
  • Column 6: "Neither trait appears, but a mixture appears"
  • Column 7: "Likelihood, or chance, that a certain event will occur"

Let's match each row term to its correct defin…
