Answer 1

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

1. Answer:

B) An allele is one form of a gene.

Step-by-step explanation:

• An allele refers to an alternative form of a gene. In other words it is one of the form of a gene.
• A gene may have two alleles, where one of the allele is a dominant allele and the other is a recessive allele.
• A homozygous organisms may be dominant or recessive, a homozygous recessive contains two recessive alleles while a homozygous dominant contains two dominant alleles.
• A heterozygous organisms contain one dominant allele and one recessive allele.

2. Answer;

B) Alleles

Explanation;

• According to Mendel genes are inherited in pairs of alleles that behave in a dominant and recessive pattern.
• Alleles are alternative forms of a gene.

• A gene may have two alleles, where one of the allele is a dominant allele and the other is a recessive allele.
• A homozygous organisms may be dominant or recessive, a homozygous recessive contains two recessive alleles while a homozygous dominant contains two dominant alleles.
