O trait
O gene
O chromosome
2. What term is used to describe the different forms of a gene that can occupy a specific locus on a chromosome? (1 point)
• allele
O phenotype
O genotype
O homozygous
3. If an organism has two different alleles for a particular gene, it is said to be: (1 point)

O homozygous recessive
O a carrier
O heterozygous
4. In Mendel's experiments with pea plants, the term "dominant" refers to: (1 point)
• The allele that is always present in homozygous individuals.
• The allele that is only present in females.
• The allele that is expressed in the phenotype of the heterozygote.
• The allele that is masked in the phenotype of the heterozygote.
