To compare: Each pair of terms by defining them and noting their differences.
Introduction: The characteristics of an organism are described as character and traits.
Explanation of Solution
1 | Dominant trait | Recessive trait |
I: A dominant trait masks or hides expression of recessive trait.
II: It is represented by an uppercase letter. | A recessive trait that exerts its effect only in the homozygous state and in heterozygous condition its expression is masked by a dominant trait.
It is represented by a lowercase letter. | |
2 | Genotype | |
I: the genotype is defined as the genetic constitution of an individual for any particular trait or character.
II: the genotype is expressed by a symbol example. Tt,TT or Tt etc. | The phenotype is defined as the physical appearance of an individual for any particular trait.
The phenotype of an individual is dependent on its genetic constitution. | |
3 | Homozygous | heterozygous |
I: The homozygous traits are possessing two identical allele for a character or trait.
II: homozygous dominant genotype (TT), homozygous recessive genotype (tt) | The heterozygous genotypes possess one of each allele for a particular trait.
For example heterozygous genotype (Tt). |
