CSET Genetics homozygous ANSWER term used to refer to an organism that has two identical alleles for a particular trait BB when a strain of fruit flies homozygous for light body color is crossed with a strain of fruit flies homozygous for dark body color, all of the offspring have a light body color. This illustrates the principle of? ANSWER dominance B dominance ANSWER An organism with a dominant allele for a particular form of a trait will always exhibit that form of the trait. (ex. Bb ---The big B would be dominant B segregation ANSWER (genetics) the separation of paired alleles during meiosis so that members of each pair of alleles appear in different gametes incomplete dominance ANSWER creates a blended phenotype; one allele is not completely dominant over the other independent assortment ANSWER states that genes for different traits can segregate independently during the formation of gametes and helps account for the many genetic variations observed in pants, animals, and other organisms heterozygous ANSWER term used to refer to an organism that has two different alleles for the same trait Bb recessive ANSWER The inherited characteristic often masked by the dominant
