NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -A dominant allele hides a recessive allele and determines the organism’s appearance. When an organism makes gametes, each gamete receives just one gene copy, which is selected randomly. This is known as the law of segregation.

Detailed explanation-2: -The type of allele that is often hidden or overshadowed by dominant allele is known as a recessive allele.

Detailed explanation-3: -Genes come in different versions, now called alleles. When an organism has two different alleles of a gene, one (the dominant allele) will hide the presence of the other (the recessive allele) and determine appearance.

Detailed explanation-4: -The other gene, weaker and usually hidden by the stronger gene, was called the recessive gene for that trait. If an offspring receives two of the same genes (either two dominant genes or two recessive genes) the offspring will inherit or have that trait.
