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.

Is an allele that produces a trait in the heterozygous condition recessive?
No. A recessive allele will not be expressed phenotypically in the heterozygous state. A recessive allele can only be expressed phenotypically in the homozygous state.
True or False In heterozygous individuals only the recessive allele is expressed?
In heterozygous individuals, only the dominant allele is expressed. The recessive allele is present, but not expressed
What is it called having a dominate and recessive allele?
If an individual has one recessive allele and one dominant allele, they are known as heterozygous. The dominant trait will be expressed.
What type of allele masks the expression of the recessive allele and is therefore expressed in the heterozygous?
A dominant allele will mask the prsence of a recssive allele
What is an allele that produces a trait in the heterozygous condition called?
incomplete dominance
Is an allele that produces a trait in the heterozygous condition recessive?
No. A recessive allele will not be expressed phenotypically in the heterozygous state. A recessive allele can only be expressed phenotypically in the homozygous state.
True or False In heterozygous individuals only the recessive allele is expressed?
In heterozygous individuals, only the dominant allele is expressed. The recessive allele is present, but not expressed
What are the circumstances under which dominant alleles will be expressed?
A dominant allele will be expressed when an allele pair is homozygous or heterozygous dominant.
What is the term for an allele that is not expressed in the phenotype of a heterozygous individual?
incomplete dominance source: PH Bio textbook
What is it called having a dominate and recessive allele?
If an individual has one recessive allele and one dominant allele, they are known as heterozygous. The dominant trait will be expressed.
If an allele for a particular trait is NOT expressed at all when another allele for the trait is present the allele is .?
The allele not expressed would be recessive whilst the other is dominant. This would be the case in a heterozygous genotype. Hope this helps
What happens when a ressive allele meetsup with a dominate allele?
The genotype is said to be heterozygous and the dominant trait will be expressed in the individual.
If an allele for a particular trait is not expressed at all when another allele for the trait is present the allele is?
The allele not expressed would be recessive whilst the other is dominant. This would be the case in a heterozygous genotype. Hope this helps
What is a dominent allele?
A dominant allele is an allele that can take over a recessive allele, so if you have a dominant allele and a recessive allele, then the offspring will most likely have a dominant allele over a recessive allele. The dominant allele is expressed over the recessive allele.
What genotype will be produced by a heterozygous?
The trait that would be expressed in a heterozygous genotype would be the dominant trait. If one allele is dominant then it will be expressed.
What type of allele masks the expression of the recessive allele and is therefore expressed in the heterozygous?
A dominant allele will mask the prsence of a recssive allele
Recessive alleles may not be expressed because they are?
The allele not expressed would be recessive whilst the other is dominant. This would be the case in a heterozygous genotype. Hope this helps
