Q. No.Dominance:
| 1. | is an autonomous feature of an allele |
| 2. | is inherent in the phenotype expressed by an allele |
| 3. | is a relationship between two alleles of a gene and their associated phenotypes |
| 4. | determines whether an allele is deleterious, neutral or advantageous |

| Assertion (A): | Incomplete dominance and blending inheritance are synonymous. |
| Reason (R): | The phenotype of the heterozygous genotype is distinct from and often intermediate to the phenotypes of the homozygous genotypes. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A) |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A) |
| 3. | (A) is True, (R) is False |
| 4. | (A) is False, (R) is True |

What does the principle of segregation in genetics state?
| 1. | Alleles separate so that each gamete carries only one allele for each gene. |
| 2. | Genes for different traits can segregate independently during the formation of gametes. |
| 3. | Each allele in a pair segregates into a different sex chromosome. |
| 4. | Phenotypes segregate during gamete formation, leading to genetic variation. |
