What does Scientists describe the set of information for each form of trait as?
allele
What is the term used to describe the strongest gene from a pair of genes?
The dominant allele.
What is the best term to describe the allele that is expressed over all other alleles of the same trait?
Dominant; genetics.
What is the alternate form of a gene?
The answer is allele
An allele that is dominated or cover up by another allele is called what?
It should be a dominant allele--a dominant allele's trait will be expressed over the recessive allele's trait.
What does Scientists describe the set of information for each form of trait as?
allele
Which one does not belong Phenotype - genotype - allele?
Phenotype. Allele and genotype both describe genes wheras phenotype describes outward appearance.
What would best describe the means by which an individual bacterium would have antibiotic resistance?
it inherited the allele that made it resisnt.
What is the term used to describe the strongest gene from a pair of genes?
The dominant allele.
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
What is a recessive genes?
Recessive is a relative term used to describe the relationship to another allele termed the dominant allele. That traits of the recessive allele will only be shown if the person has two copies of the recessive allele. If a dominant allele is present, then the recessive trait will not be shown.
Describe what is occurring when a population is said to evolve?
The allele frequency of the populations gene pool is changing.
What is the best term to describe the allele that is expressed over all other alleles of the same trait?
Dominant; genetics.
What is allele masked by the dominant allele?
The Allele That Is Covered By The Dominant Allele Is The Recessive Allele.
How would you describe what an allele is?
*An allele is basically the different forms a particular gene can take (describes the various genotypes/phenotypes a gene can take).* For example there is an allele of a gene which codes for haemoglobin in red blood cells, which gives them their characteristic concave shape. But there can also be a mutation in that gene, which causes a different allele to be produced which gives it a sickle-cell shape, which leads to sickle-cell anaemia.
For a gene with its locus on the X chromosome what term do you use to describe a male that only has one copy of this gene?
Hemizygous - has 1/1 copy of the allele Heterozygous - has 1/2 copies of the alleleHomozygous - has 2/2 copies of the allele
What is the alternate form of a gene?
The answer is allele
