When the expression of one allele is masked by the presence of another is said to be?
Recessive
Capacity of one allele to suppress the expression?
A dominant allele will express itself if present, and will suppress the recessive allele's expression.
When one allele shows dominance over another allele?
When one allele shows dominance over another it is masking the expression of the other allele which is called "recessive".The word for this is complete dominance.
Does a recessive allele need another recessive allele to be expressed?
I think if an allele "want" to be expressed, then it has to have a dominant allele. They don't need another recessive allele.
What Does a particular trait result from the expression of a single gene?
Huntington's disease is a perfect example of a single gene trait. A mutation in this allele causes Huntington's disease in later life. A dominant trait. Widows peak us another. Any gene that controls the total expression of a trait is an allele defined as a single gene trait.
Allele that prevents the expression of a recessive allele?
A dominant allele

When one allele shows dominance over another it is masking the expression of the other allele which is called "recessive".The word for this is complete dominance.
Is when one allele completely masks another?
when one allele is completely dominant over another allele, then it masks the expression of the second allele so the allele that masks the effect is called dominant allele and the allele whos effect is masked is called recessive allele
What is an allele whose trait always shows up in the organism?
type 2 Diabetes
Wavy hair is caused by the shared expression of a allele for curly hair and an allele for straight hair?
it depends on which allele is most dominant in the parents.
Does a recessive allele need another recessive allele to be expressed?
I think if an allele "want" to be expressed, then it has to have a dominant allele. They don't need another recessive allele.
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
ABO blood group expression is an example of?
multiple allele inheritance.
What is simple dominance?
Dominant allele defines the phenotype expression of the trait.
What Does a particular trait result from the expression of a single gene?
Huntington's disease is a perfect example of a single gene trait. A mutation in this allele causes Huntington's disease in later life. A dominant trait. Widows peak us another. Any gene that controls the total expression of a trait is an allele defined as a single gene trait.
