How can alleles be?
Alleles can either be recessive or dominant. Dominant alleles produce a dominant trait which is normally seen, whereas although the recessive allele is present, the recessive trait is not normally visible. However, in cases of codominance and complete dominance the dominant trait does not completely hide the recessive trait and it can show through.
What are the two different alleles for a gene?
I think it is Dominant and recessive.
How dominant and recessive alleles are represented in a Punnett Square?
Dominant alleles are written in upper case (i.e, 'A'), while recessive alleles are lower case (i.e, 'a')
How do dominant alleles recessive alleles differs?
Dominant alleles are the ones that show up in the phenotype. Recessive alleles do not unless both alleles are recessive, but can be passed on. For example: Tt , T=tall and t=short. Tall is dominant and short is recessive. You are tall and can pass on the short gene. Or, you can use black hair being dominant over red. Or, brown eyes being dominant over blue. Dominant can be seen on you and recessive can't.
What is codominance?
It's like incomplete dominance, but instead of one allele not being completely dominant for a trait, both alleles for that specific trait are dominant.A condition in which neither of two alleles of a gene is dominant nor recessive
Is a situation in which a dominant allele completely masks a recessive allele for a gene.?
If you have 2 dominant alleles, the gene will be dominant, if you have 2 recessive alleles, the gene will be recessive. But if you have 1 recessive and 1 dominant, the Dominant allele will mask the recessive one.

How is recessive alleles different from dominant alleles?
You need two recessive alleles to get their trait, but only one dominant allele to get that trait. A dominant allele basically overrides a recessive one if they are together, but the recessive gene can show up in offspring.
What makes a dominant alleles different from a recessive alleles?
A dominant alle masks the expression of the recessive trait in a heterozygous genotype, a recessive allele is the phenotpye expressed is the recessive trait.
What can be dominant or recessive?
Alleles can be dominant or recessive
How are dominant and recessive alleles are represented in a punnet square?
Dominant alleles are shown by a capital letter and recessive alleles are lowercase letters.
What is two dominant alleles called?
In eyes, it would be brown is dominant, and blue is recessive. Free earlobe allele is said to be dominant over the attached earlobe allele. When an organism has two dominant alleles for a trait, it is called homozygous dominant. Two recessive alleles for a trait is homozygous recessive.
How are Dominant and recessive alleles are represented in Punnet Square?
Dominant alleles are shown by a capital letter and recessive alleles are lowercase letters.
What is gene pair consists of two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles?
A gene pair that consists of 2 dominant or 2 recessive alleles is considered homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive.
What are the two different alleles for a gene?
I think it is Dominant and recessive.

How are dominant and recessive genes?
If you are talking about traits, dominant traits and recessive traits both have alleles. Dominant traits are alleles that cover up the expression of other alleles. One dominant allele with one recessive allele makes a dominant trait. Two dominant alleles together also make a dominant trate. Recessive traits are alleles that are only expressed when there is no dominant trait to cover them up. Two recessive alleles make a recessive trait. Traits can be passed over to the next generation. Two alleles together make a genotype, which is the inherited combination of alleles. Alleles: different versions of the same gene. Heredity: determined by genes. Genes: piece of DNA that shows the cell how to make a protein it needs.
