Here are the answers to your genetics questions:
**Question 1:**
1. Which of the following describes the basic unit of heredity that is passed from parents to offspring?
- **Answer:** gene
**Question 2:**
2. What term is used to describe the different forms of a gene that can occupy a specific locus on a chromosome?
- **Answer:** allele
**Question 3:**
3. What does a heterozygous genotype consist of?
- **Answer:** One dominant and one recessive allele
**Question 4:**
4. In Mendel's experiments with pea plants, the term "dominant" refers to:
- **Answer:** The allele that is expressed in the phenotype of the heterozygote.
**Question 5:**
5. What percentage of the offspring from a monohybrid cross of two heterozygous guinea pigs will be hairless?
- **Answer:** 25%
(Note: The answer for Question 5 assumes that hairless is a recessive trait, requiring two recessive alleles to express the hairless phenotype.)
