Match the vocabulary terms to their definition. __ 1. Alleles __ 2. Law of Independent Assortment __ 3. Law of Dominance __ 4. Law of Segregation __ 5. Crossing over a. homologous chromosomes exchange gonetic material resulting in genetic variation b. Mendel's low that states alleles separate independently from one another c. variant of a gane controlling the same trait d. Mendel's law that states at least one dominant allele needs to be inherited to exhibit the domin phenotype e. Mendel's law that states two alleles coding for same trait separats during gamete formation

## Step 1<br />The problem involves matching the given vocabulary terms to their correct definitions. The terms are related to genetics, specifically Mendelian genetics.<br /><br />## Step 2<br />The term 'Alleles' refers to different versions of a gene that control the same trait. This matches with definition 'c'.<br /><br />## Step 3<br />The term 'Law of Independent Assortment' is a principle of genetics proposed by Gregor Mendel stating that genes for different traits can segregate independently during the formation of gametes. This matches with definition 'b'.<br /><br />## Step 4<br />The term 'Law of Dominance' is a principle of genetics that states that one allele will mask the effect of another allele at the same locus. This matches with definition 'd'.<br /><br />## Step 5<br />The term 'Law of Segregation' is a principle of genetics that states that allele pairs separate or segregate during gamete formation and randomly unite at fertilization. This matches with definition 'e'.<br /><br />## Step 6<br />The term 'Crossing over' refers to the process where homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material, leading to genetic variation. This matches with definition 'a'.
