Question

Two brown-haired parents have a child with bright red hair. Which of the following hypotheses about heredity best explains why neither parent had red hair even though they each had an allele for red hair?

Question 15 options:

Alleles of different genes affecting different characters assort independently during gamete formation

The two alleles an individual possesses for a character separate during gamete formation

For each gene, and individual inherits two copies of the gene, one copy coming from each parent

Different alleles of the same gene account for variation in inherited characters

When an individual has two different alleles for a trait, the dominant allele determines the individual's appearance, and the recessive allele will not affect the individual's appearance
