Answers Activity 5:

1. A dominant trait is a trait that is an inherited characteristic that is defined by a

dominant allele. On the other hand, a recessive trait is an inherited characteristic

defined by a recessive allele. A dominant allele may be expressed even when paired

with a recessive allele while a recessive allele may only be visible if paired with another

recessive allele.

2. Monohybrid cross is a cross involving only a single factor. Dihybrid cross is a cross

involving two factors or traits.

3. Homozygote is a pair of two identical alleles while Heterozygote is a pair of two

different alleles.

4. Usually, the pattern of inheritance for the first generation is that all of the offspring

would inherit the trait of the parent who has the dominant trait, assuming that both

parents are pure bred.

5. Commonly, the pattern of

inheritance for the second

generation is that 75% of the

offspring inherits the dominant

trait and 25% inherits the

recessive trait. 50% of which is

heterozygous and 25% each for

dominant and recessive.
