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

Explanation

a. In Mendel.s experiment of law of dominance, the expressed character is called dominant character or dominance and suppressed character is called recessive character or recessiveness.
b. The individual whose chromosome carries similar genes for a character is called homozygous and the individual whose chromosome carries dissimilar genes for a character is called heterozygous.
c. A cross involving two plants differing in one character pair is called monohybrid cross and that in two characters is called dihybrid cross.
