Answer:
smooth was dominant over that for wrinkled
Explanation:
In complete dominance, a gene may have two different variants or 'alleles', dominant and recessive. A dominant allele is a gene variant that is able to produce a certain phenotype, even in the presence of other alleles, while a recessive allele is a gene variant that is masked by the dominant allele in heterozygous individuals (i.e., individuals that inherited different alleles from each parent). By crossing smooth and wrinkled pea plants, Mendel observed the offspring (F1) were smooth rather than mixed, indicating one type of seed texture was dominant over the other. Subsequently, Mendel observed that alleles for different traits (e.g., seed texture and seed color) assorted independently during meiosis.
Answer:
DNA can be described as the molecules which carries the genetic code for every individual. The DNA is made up of nucleotide bases which join the two strands of DNA. The sugar and phosphate form the backbone of the DNA.
Genes are the hereditary molecules which are made up of DNA. The alleles of a gene represent which traits will be carried by an organism.
Chromosomes are made up of genes. During reproduction, crossing over of DNA occurs and alleles of the genes assort independently due to which variations occur.
