How does an allele trait in an organism?
An allele causes a trait by either being dominant orrecessive or example, allele A will occur over allele a because it is dominant.
How do you use dominant allele in a sentence'?
The dominant allele overpowers a recessive allele, therefore when the two are combined (heterozygous) the phenotype of the organism becomes whatever the dominant allele represents.
What term describes an individual that has a dominant and a recessive allele for a trait?

What describes an organism that has the genotypes Bb?
Heterozygous, because it has one dominant allele (B) and one recessive allele (b). An organism with two identical alleles (such as BB or bb) would be homozygous.
What is meant by dominance?
Complete dominance means that the dominant allele completely masks the effects of the recessive allele. The only way a recessive allele can be exhibited phenotypically is if the organism is homozygous recessive for that allele.
What term describes an individual with two copies of the same allele?
The individual with two of the same allele is "homozygous" for a trait.

Which is the dominant allele?

What is an allele that always shows up in an organism's phenotype called - an allele that masks the other allele?
The dominant allele.
What is contributing allele?
A contributing allele is a dominant allele which adds to the phenotype (the characteristics or traits of an organism).
What word describes an organism that has the genotype Bb?
The most accurate description of an organism with genotype AaBb is heterozygous. A homozygous genotype is aaBB and AA.
What is the difference between an inactive allele and an expressed allele?
The inactive allele is invisible in an organism while an expressed allele is the dominant allele and therefor is the phenotype.
This is the name of an organism with two different alleles?
The organism is heterozygous for that allele.
