In order to match the terms in Column A with their corresponding definitions in Column B, you need to understand the meaning of each term.
Here's how you can match the terms:
1. allele: Alleles are different forms of a gene. Therefore, the answer is i.
2. phenotype: Phenotype refers to the physical or observable characteristics of an organism. The answer is c.
3. genotype: Genotype refers to the genetic makeup of an organism. The answer is i.
4. homozygous: Homozygous refers to having two alleles that are the same. The answer is g.
5. heterozygous: Heterozygous refers to having two different alleles. The answer is a.
6. diploid: Diploid refers to having two copies of each chromosome. The answer is k.
7. haploid: Haploid refers to having one copy of each chromosome. The answer is f.
8. gametes: Gametes are sex cells (sperm and egg). The answer is j.
9. dominant: Dominant refers to the trait that is always expressed, even if the organism has only one copy of the allele. The answer is d.
10. recessive: Recessive refers to the trait that can be covered up or only expressed when an organism has two copies of the allele. The answer is e.
11. Independent assortment: Independent assortment is one of Mendel's principles that states that genes for different traits can segregate independently during the formation of gametes. The answer is h.
12. segregation: Segregation refers to the separation of alleles during gamete formation. The answer is b.
By matching the terms with their corresponding definitions, you should now have the answers for each term.
