2. Dominant 4. Genotype
Activity 2
Truth or Fallacy
STATEMENT TRUE FALSE
1. In the principle of dominance, when
pure parents of contrasting expression
of trait are crossed the expression that
comes out in the hybrid is the dominant
expression of the trait.
2. The expression that is expressed in the
hybrid is the recessive expression of
the trait.
3. Pure breeds have homozygous alleles.
4. Hybrids have the small alleles.
5. The Law of Segregation refers to the
separation in the members of a pair of
alleles during gamete formation.
6. Gene pairs separate independently
when situated in the same
chromosomes. The traits determined
by two genes on the same
chromosome are inherited together.
These conditions are stated in the Law
of Independent Assortment.
7. The dominant expression of the trait
only comes out when both the
recessive alleles from parents are
combined.
8. Phenotype refers to the visible
expression or appearance of the
organism.
9. Genotype refers to the genetic
composition of an individual, which is
either homozygous or heterozygous.
10. a cross between individual that varies
only in one trait or where only one trait is
considered is a monohybrid cross.

REFLECTION:
1. I learned that predicting phenotypic expressions of traits
following simple patterns of inheritance is important
because it is used to reveal traits that are hidden in the
genome by dominant alleles.
2. I enjoyed most on decoding the answer to each item in
activity 1 based on the number that corresponds to a
letter of the alphabet.
3. I want to learn more on how to predict the allele
combinations.
