Answer:

<em>The correct option is B. Alleles</em>

Explanation:

The punnet square can be described as a diagram which shows the outcomes of a cross. A punnet square will help us know what will be the probability for a particular trait to occur in the offsprings.

Genes might have the same or different alleles. If the alleles for a gene are similar in an organism, the organism is said to be homozygous for the trait. If the alleles are different, then the organism is termed as heterozygous.

A dominant allele is the one which which suppresses the effect of the recessive allele. A recessive allele gets masked by a dominant allele.

What two things can alter the shape and function of an enzyme
mars1129 [50]

Temperature can cause an enzymes shape and function to alter due to the fact that once an enzyme reaches its optimum level, if it goes over it begins to denature. If the temperature is below optimum, then an enzyme will work at a slower rate.  Also, the pH can affect an enzyme.

Why are dominant alleles not necessarily more common than recessive alleles?
marta [7]
It all depends on the trait. If the dominant is more common that the recessive trait then it is more likely to a dominant trait in the gene pool. But if the recessive trait is more common in the gene pool then you will have a recessive trait. Does this make sense? Let me know if I'm right!
