Q. No.Dominance:
| 1. | is an autonomous feature of an allele |
| 2. | is inherent in the phenotype expressed by an allele |
| 3. | is a relationship between two alleles of a gene and their associated phenotypes |
| 4. | determines whether an allele is deleterious, neutral or advantageous |

Consider the given two statements:
| I: | In a test cross, the allele the individual in question [one that expresses the dominant phenotype] passes on, determines the phenotype of the offspring. |
| II: | The homozygous recessive individual can only pass on recessive alleles. |
| 1. | Both I and II are correct and II explains I |
| 2. | Both I and II are correct but II does not explain I |
| 3. | I is correct but II is incorrect |
| 4. | I is incorrect but II is correct |

Consider the given two statements:
| Assertion (A): | In incomplete dominance, segregation of unit factors does not take place. |
| Reason (R): | Incomplete dominance is blending inheritance. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A). |
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |

What does the principle of segregation in genetics state?
| 1. | Alleles separate so that each gamete carries only one allele for each gene. |
| 2. | Genes for different traits can segregate independently during the formation of gametes. |
| 3. | Each allele in a pair segregates into a different sex chromosome. |
| 4. | Phenotypes segregate during gamete formation, leading to genetic variation. |
