Recessive allele is more common or dominant allele?
Not necessarily. I think the dominant genes are more common, but there are lot of exceptions out there. For example, having six fingers in humans is a dominant gene, but it isn't all that common.
When on e allele of a gene masks the presence of the other allele what form is masked?
The recessive allele.
What gene is defined as a gene that controls the appearance of a certain trait?
the dominant allele
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 is the phenotypic ratio of the offspring when a tall man marries a short woman?
The phenotypic ratio of the offspring when a tall man marries a short woman is 3:1 (tall/short). The phenotypic ratio is figured by using the punnet square with the dominant allele for tall and the recessive allele for the short gene.
Recessive allele is more common or dominant allele?
Not necessarily. I think the dominant genes are more common, but there are lot of exceptions out there. For example, having six fingers in humans is a dominant gene, but it isn't all that common.
Is having five fingers or toes a recessive genetic trait?
Yes, because Polydactyly is a dominant allele.
When on e allele of a gene masks the presence of the other allele what form is masked?
The recessive allele.
What is caused by a dominant allele located on an autosome?
The dominant allele will cause the appearance of the phenotype that this dominant allele represents...
What gene is defined as a gene that controls the appearance of a certain trait?
the dominant allele
What is allele masked by the dominant allele?
The Allele That Is Covered By The Dominant Allele Is The Recessive Allele.
Which is the dominant allele?
The dominant allele is the trait that shows up in the organism when the allele is present
Is a recessive allele different from a dominant allele?
Yes, they are different. A recessive allele gets its name because when in the presence of a dominant allele, it will "recede" and not show, hence the name for the dominant allele.
What is it Dominant allele What is a recessive allele?
A genotype in which there are both a dominant and a recessive allele is called heterozygous.
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.
If and individual has one dominant allele and one recessive allele will the recessive allele show up?
YES ALWAYS!!! Even if you have for example, Aa (A being the dominant allele and a being the recessive allele) that trait will always be dominant!
What is am example of a dominant allele?
A dominant allele is the allele which expresses itself morphologically.for example;the dimple on your cheek.your mom has a dimple whereas your father doesn't have it .but you too possess it.then ,your mother's allele serves to be the dominant allele.
