Alleles are different forms of a gene found on chromosomes on sites called loci

An allele that is not expressed in the heterozygous condition is?

If it's not a heterozygous, the alleles would either be two capital letters (TT) or two lowercase letters (tt). This is because the organism has either both two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles.


In a hybrid plant if every allele combination has two alleles what is the probability of one allele?

The probability of inheriting a specific allele in a hybrid plant would be 1/2 or 50%, as each parent contributes one allele and there are two possible alleles for a specific gene. Each offspring has an equal chance of inheriting either allele from the parent.


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.


An allele is either large or small?

An allele is not just small....it is microscopic. An allele is a gene of different expressions (dominant and recessive)


If you have two copies of the same allele are considered to be for that traits whereas if you have two different alleles you are considered to be for that trait?

Having two copies of the same allele for a trait is termed homozygous, while having two different alleles for a trait is heterozygous. Homozygous individuals will display the trait determined by that allele, while heterozygous individuals may express either allele's trait, depending on dominance relationships.


An allele is either what or what?

Dominant or recessive


If the male parent is heterozygous for a trait what alleles for each sperm cell possibly have?

A heterozygous male parent has two different alleles for a trait. During gamete formation, each sperm cell will carry one of the two alleles, either the dominant or recessive allele. This means that half of the sperm cells will carry one allele and the other half will carry the other allele.


What two types of gamete is made from genotype Aaaa?

The genotype Aaaa can produce two types of gametes: A and a. During gamete formation, the alleles segregate, resulting in gametes that contain either the dominant allele A or the recessive allele a. Therefore, the two possible gametes are A and a.


What is homozygous-?

Every gene has a dominant and recessive allele, homozygous is just when a gene has either two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles.


Can a AB- mom have a AB- child with a O plus dad?

No to have an AB child the parents must have an A allele in one ine parent and a B in the other so that when they reproduce those two alleles (foumd on the chromosome) can be passed to the offspring and hence the child will be AB blood group. As the father is O (which is a recessive allele) he cannot have either an A or B allele and so the offspring will always have one O allele and either the A or B allele from the mother. The child cannot be AB.


What are two allele combination of two individuals who are true breeding for the height characteristics in pea plants?

True breeding pea plants for height typically exhibit homozygous alleles, meaning they have two identical alleles for the trait. For height, this could be represented as either "TT" for tall plants or "tt" for short plants, where "T" is the dominant allele for tallness and "t" is the recessive allele for shortness. Therefore, the two allele combinations for two true breeding individuals would be "TT" and "tt".


Every allele is a what allele?

No! they are different
