Correct answer: C. Homozygous
- A. Heterozygous
- B. Genotype
- C. Homozygous
- D. Phenotype

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.

In this section of logical deduction, the question consists of a brief passage (usually a report containing certain data regarding some social or economic problem), followed by certain inferences based on it. The student is required to analyze the contents (or data) of the passage and grasp the desirable facts from it. Then, student has to consider each of the given inferences in the context of the given passage. decide upon its degree of truth or falsity and then choose the hest alternative provided accordingly.Though the State cultivates only 3.2 lakh tons of mangoes. they are of premium quality and with mangoes becoming second most consumed fruit in the world after grapes, the government has been trying exporting it through sea route which is cheaper. An experiment which was done in this regard last year hasred successful.There are some problems in exporting mangoes through sea route.
In Mendel's experiment, traits like seed color , flower color, pod color etc are referred to as:
Mendel concluded that each organism has two hereditary factors for each trait, now called:
