What is the difference between a gene allele Chromosome and trait?
Alleles are alternate versions of genes that code for certain phenotypes, or traits. The traits of an individual are a result of the interaction between their genotype (alleles) and the environment.
What is a codominance?
Co-dominant allele is the one that shows dominance with another allele from a different loci. Basically its one of the following: 1) two different alleles at a locus are responsible for different phenotypes. 2) two alleles that affect the phenotype of the heterozygote. For instance ab blood groups
Why is there a wide range of phenotypes in polygenic inheritance?
"polygenic inheritance"- the inheritance of quantitative traits, traits which are influenced by multiple genes. Polygenic inheritance shows how multiple genes in combination with a person's environment can influence someone's phenotype, or physical appearance. A wide range is produced because the gene combinations are vast.
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.
What is the result when a dominant allele pairs up with a recessive allele in a simple dominance?
The dominant form of the trait shows. -Gradpoint

Which is the dominant allele?
The dominant allele is the trait that shows up in the organism when the allele is present
What is an allele that always shows up in an organism's phenotype called - an allele that masks the other allele?
The dominant allele.

Why is it that a person with an allele for a particular trait may not have a phenotype that shows the trait?
a dominant allele will express its trait , as well as be carried by the person. the word carrier is commonly used for a person who bears an allele which does not express itself(i.e. a recessive gene).
What allele whose trait only shows up when no dominant allele is present?
Such a trait is called a recessive trait.
What is e difference between a dominate and recessive allele?
The answer is that The difference is that dominant dominates, and recessive is dominated.
What form of gene that always shows even in the presence of recessive allele?
Dominate
