Is cystic fibrosis caused by a dominent or recessive gene?
It is caused by a recessive allele. Believe me my teacher told me.
What is allele masked by the dominant allele?
An allele that is masked by the dominant allele is called a recessive allele. When an individual has one dominant allele and one recessive allele, only the trait determined by the dominant allele will be expressed. The recessive allele will only be expressed if an individual has two copies of it (homozygous recessive).
20 out of 100 rabbits have white fur what is the allele frequency for the recessive allele?
To find the allele frequency for the recessive allele, we first determine the proportion of rabbits with white fur, which is 20 out of 100, or 0.20. Assuming white fur is caused by a recessive allele (let's call it "a"), these rabbits represent the homozygous recessive genotype (aa). Using the Hardy-Weinberg principle, if q² = 0.20, then q (the frequency of the recessive allele) is the square root of 0.20, which is approximately 0.447. Thus, the allele frequency for the recessive allele is about 0.447 or 44.7%.
Is the allele causing huntington's disease dominant or recessive?
Huntington's disease is caused by a dominant allele
Is albinism controlled by a dominant allele or by a recessive allele?
Recessive allele.
Does a recessive allele need another recessive allele to be expressed?
Yes, a recessive allele needs to be paired with another recessive allele in order to be expressed. This is because recessive alleles are only expressed when an individual has two copies of the recessive allele, one from each parent. If an individual has one dominant allele and one recessive allele for a particular trait, the dominant allele will be expressed.
What is the term for an allele that is not expressed in the phenotype of a heterozygous individual?
incomplete dominance source: PH Bio textbook
Is albinism controlled by a dominant allele o recessive allele?
It is controlled by a recessive allele.
What allele is covered up by the dominant allele?
An allele that's masked by a dominant gene is called a "Recessive"recessiverecessive traitThe recessive allele. Often depicted as the "small r" in examples: Rr, R=dominant, r= recessive.
An allele that is hidden by other alleles is called?
i think the answer your lokking for is recessive Recessive is when you have a trait in your genome but it doesn't show in your physical appearance
What is a sex linked disorder caused by a recessive allele on the x chromosomes?

How is a recessive allele from a dominant allele?
its different because adominant allele is in charge
