Jacey Lutz · Answer 1

1. recessive

2. phenotype

3. hybrid

4. genotype

5. dominant

Explanation:

1. recessive is the one that is being masked when a dominant trait is present in Law of Dominance

2. Phenotype is the gene or trait that expresses itself

3. Hybrid or heterozygous consists of an a dominant gene

example: Purple is dominant over white flowered pea plant

Y - purple y-white

Yy is the hybrid / heterozygous pea plant because Y (purple) is dominant over y (white).

4. genotype refers to presence of the specific trait / the exact pairing of alleles.

example: YY, Yy and Yy

5. Dominant, expression of a trait and what it looks like.

example: Yy is a heterozygous or a hybrid plant. since Y is dominant over y then the looks of the plant will have a higher probability in resulting in to purple flowered pea plant.
