Differentiate between the following:
(a) Dominance and Recessive genes
(b) Homozygous and Heterozygous
(c) Monohybrid and Dihybrid.

Explanation

(a) Dominant gene - A gene which has the capacity to express in the hybrid condition.
Recessive gene - A gene which fails to express in the hybrid due to the presence of a dominant gene
(b) Homozygous - It is a situation of an individual in which a particular character is controlled by a pair of similar genes:
Heterozygous - It is a situation of an individual in which a particular character is controlled by a pair of dissimilar genes.
(c) Monohybrid: An hybridisation in which inheritance of only one character is followed from parents to offspring, is known as a monohybrid cross
Dihybrid : An hybridisation in which inheritance of two characters are followed from one generation to another is called a hybrid cross.
