Question 5

Which of the following best describes a homologous chromosome?

Accepted Answer

A chromosome that pairs with another chromosome of the same type in diploid organisms

Question 6

If a cell undergoes meiosis, how many cells are produced and what is their chromosome number compared to the original cell?

Accepted Answer

Four cells, each with half the chromosome number of the original

Question 7

Which statement about genes and alleles is correct?

Accepted Answer

An allele is a variant of a gene

Question 8

A pea plant has the genotype 'aa' for seed color, where 'A' is dominant (yellow) and 'a' is recessive (green). What is the phenotype of the plant?

Accepted Answer

Green
