Question

The characters that appear in the first generation are called

• A. Recessive characters
• B. Dominant characters
• C. Both recessive and dominant characters
• D. Intermediate between two

Answer 1

The correct option is B Dominant characters

Dominant characters are a result of the expression of dominant alleles. In a heterozygote, dominant allele expresses and produces dominant character while recessive allele is unable to express in presence of dominant allele. For example, a heterozygote having genotype Tt is tall because T (for tall) is dominant over t (for dwarf).

So, the correct answer is option B.
