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

Consider the given two statements:
I: In a test cross, the allele the individual in question [one that expresses the dominant phenotype] passes on, determines the phenotype of the offspring.
II: The homozygous recessive individual can only pass on recessive alleles.
 
1. Both I and II are correct and II explains I
2. Both I and II are correct but II does not explain I
3. I is correct but II is incorrect
4. I is incorrect but II is correct

Consider the given two statements:
Assertion (A): In incomplete dominance, segregation of unit factors does not take place.
Reason (R): Incomplete dominance is blending inheritance.
 
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 but (R) is False.
4. Both (A) and (R) are False.

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.
