Good Lord no.

An allele is a specific term in genetics that refers to all the different sequences

that can be found in certain parts of your DNA. An example would be for the ability

to roll your tongue: there are one of two ways your DNA can be coded for in this

section- the first would allow you to roll your tongue and the second coding would

make you unable to do this.

Thus the sequence of DNA controlling a person's ability to roll their tongue

has two alleles- one for and one against. We can't live without alleles because

we can't live without our DNA.

Even the heterozygous condition is somewhat deleterious and, statistically without malarial selection pressure the allele will be selected out.

What is another name for heterozygous?

Another way to express something is heterozygous is to say it has dual alleles. There is a dominant and recessive allele. Alleles determine which traits something will have. Normally this is expressed in a single 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 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.
