Solution(By Examveda Team)
a. Genotype and phenotype term is given by Johannsen. The terms 'genotype', 'phenotype', and 'gene' originally had a different meaning from that in Modern Synthesis. These terms were coined in the first decade of the twentieth century by the Danish plant physiologist Wilhelm Johannsen.b. Heterosis term is given by shull. It is the improved or increased function of any biological quality in a hybrid offspring.
c. Recurrent selection is given by Hull in 1945. RECURRENT selection in animal breeding refers to Hull's method of selection for specific combining ability with a tester stock.
d. Overdominance is given by Hull in 1945. Overdominance is a rare condition in genetics where the phenotype of the heterozygote lies outside the phenotypical range of both homozygous parents.
