Chapter 13, Problem 8SQ
Summary Introduction
Concept introduction: The allele is the variant of the gene. The allele can be dominant or recessive. The dominant allele is the one that will be expressed in the heterozygous condition where two different alleles of the same gene are present. Phenotypic ratio refers to the ratio of the number of organisms in the generation that would express several
