Dominance is the physiological effect of an allele over its partner allele occupying the;
Correct answer: C. Same locus on respective homologue
- A. Same locus on same chromosome
- B. Different locus on same chromosome
- C. Same locus on respective homologue
- D. Different locus on respective homologue
Explanation
Dominance is the physiological effect of an allele over its partner allele occuping the same locus on respective homologue. Therefore, option C is correct.

About Inheritance
Mendel's laws explain segregation, independent assortment and the prediction of genetic ratios using alleles, genotypes and phenotypes. The chapter also covers linked genes, recombination and crossing over during meiosis, then applies pedigree reasoning to X-linked recessive traits, which show different inheritance patterns in males and females.
