Question

Given below are groups of terms. In each group, the first pair indicates the relationship between the two terms. Rewrite and complete the second pair on a similar basis.

TT : Dominant : tt : ___.

Answer 1

Mendelian Law of Dominance:

1. Mendel's law of dominance states that when two homozygous individuals having one or more sets of contrasting characters or traits are crossed then the character that expresses itself in the F1 generation is known as the dominant character and the character which is unable to express itself in F1 generation is known as recessive character.
2. The dominant allele is denoted with the uppercase alphabet as T and the recessive allele is denoted with the lower case alphabet as t for the tall character.
3. TT and Tt express the phenotype tallness as they contain at least one dominant allele in it and tt is a homozygous pair of a recessive allele that expresses the phenotype dwarfness.

Final answer:

TT : Dominant: tt : recessive
