Which of the following best describes Mendel’s laws in the context of chromosomes, genes, and alleles?

• Mendel’s laws describe the process of DNA replication.

• Mendel’s laws explain the inheritance patterns of traits.

• Mendel’s laws are about the structure of chromosomes.

• Mendel’s laws focus on the mutation of genes.

How do co-dominance and incomplete dominance impact gene expression?

• They result in the expression of only recessive alleles.

• They result in the expression of only dominant alleles.

• They result in a blend or combination of traits.

• They prevent any gene expression.

What is the presentation of pleiotropic genes?

• Pleiotropic genes affect only one trait.

• Pleiotropic genes do not affect any traits.
