A trait controlled by a dominant gene will __________.
A) be expressed even when the corresponding gene in the other half of the pair is different

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A trait controlled by a dominant gene will be expressed even when the corresponding gene in the other half of the pair is different. This is because dominant genes are able to express their trait even in the presence of a different gene on the other chromosome. The presence of a dominant allele will always lead to the expression of the trait it controls. Therefore, option A is the correct answer.

A Trait Controlled by a Dominant Gene Will __________
