What does a allele produce?
An allele is a variation or a type of gene
What gene will exhibit its traits even in a prensesce of a recessive gene?
The dominant allele
Can a recessive gene be hidden from a dominant?
The dominant gene will always "cover up" the recessive gene, although there are instances of codominance, in which both phenotypes will be displayed, because one gene is not completely dominant over the other. There is also what is called 'incomplete dominance', when the actual phenotype is somewhere between the two.
Units of information about heritable traits?
A gene is a unit that determines heritable characteristics. An allele is one of the alternative versions of a gene for a character.
Is an allele is a gene from several pairs?
No, not exactly. They are different forms of the same gene.

What gene will exhibit its traits even in a prensesce of a recessive gene?
The dominant allele
What is a different between allele and gene?
an allele is a gene that is the cause of hereditary variation
What is allel?
An allele is the different forms of a gene.
What is a type of gene?
Do you mean allele? An allele is a different molecular form of the same gene.
What is the name for a different form of gene?
The name for different forms of a gene is allele. >A< (A.S.Apex approved :P)
What is an allele?
a form of a gene apex
Different forms of a gene?
the alternative form of a gene is called an "allele."
What is an organism that is heterozygous for two traits?
An organism that is heterozygous for two traits means that it contains both the dominant allele and the recessive allele for both of the traits in question. For example, take a plant that produces peas. The gene that produces yellow seeds (denoted Y) is dominant, the gene for green seeds (y) is recessive. The gene that produces round seeds is dominant (R), the gene for wrinkled seeds (r) is recessive. So if this organism was heterozygous for both traits its genotype would be: Yy/ Rr Which means it has the allele for yellow seeds and the allele for green seeds (trait one), and also has the allele for round seeds and the allele for wrinkled seeds (trait two). Its phenotype (the traits it displays) will be yellow round seeds, as these are the dominant traits.
Each copy of a gene is called an allele?
yes, different forms of a gene is called an allele. It was used in the early days of genetics to describe variant forms of a gene detected as different phenotypes
Can a recessive gene be hidden from a dominant?
The dominant gene will always "cover up" the recessive gene, although there are instances of codominance, in which both phenotypes will be displayed, because one gene is not completely dominant over the other. There is also what is called 'incomplete dominance', when the actual phenotype is somewhere between the two.
