INHERITANCE AND VARIATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
____ are the weaker genes which hide behind the dominant genes. It takes two or more of the genes to show up in order for this trait to be represented in offspring. Examples include blond hair, green, blue, or hazel eyes.
A
Recessive genes
B
Dominant genes
C
Chromosomes
D
Inherited traits
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Codominance. As opposed to partial dominance, codominance occurs when the phenotypes of both parents are simultaneously expressed in the same offspring organism.

Detailed explanation-2: -Genes can come in 2 different forms called alleles. We represent alleles with both lowercase and uppercase letters. Uppercase and lowercase letters are used to show which alleles are dominant and which are recessive. A dominant (uppercase letter) allele will overpower a recessive allele (lowercase letter).

Detailed explanation-3: -One allele for every gene in an organism is inherited from each of that organism’s parents. In some cases, both parents provide the same allele of a given gene, and the offspring is referred to as homozygous ("homo” meaning “same") for that allele.

Detailed explanation-4: -Genetics is the scientific study of genes and heredity-of how certain qualities or traits are passed from parents to offspring as a result of changes in DNA sequence.
