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.

Are alleles dominant or recessive?

Alleles are neither entirely recessive nor entirely dominate. An allele is any one of a number of alternative forms of the same gene on a chromosome.For example: say a flower only blooms either red or white flowers. There is a different allele for each color-- a red allele and a white allele. Now, one color may be dominate over the other recessive gene. For example, if the red color was dominate and the white color was recessive, then those certain alleles would be dominate and recessive, respectively. But alleles in general cannot be either recessive or dominate. It depends on the gene and it depends on the trait.

How many alleles are usually in the gene pool for each trait?

Each gene has a dominate and recessive allele, so there are two types of alleles in each gene. The dominate allele is stronger than the recessive allele unless there are two recessive alleles.


Is straight hair controlled by a dominate allele or recessive allele?

Straight hair is typically controlled by a dominant allele. Curly hair is usually controlled by a recessive allele.


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 One recessive and one dominate allele?

A dominant allele could be right handedness, or a straight hairline. A recessive allele could be freckles, a widows peak, clef chin, or left handedness.


Why are recessive alleles not always expressed as the phenotype?

recessive alleles get masked to show the difference in a dominant gene and a recessive gene. the dominate genes masks the recessive genes to show that the dominate gene is more dominate or more likely to be the outcome than the reccessive gene but the masked gene is not always recessive.


What is it called having a dominate and recessive allele?

Having a dominant and recessive allele is known as Mendelian inheritance, named after Gregor Mendel, the scientist who first described it. In this type of inheritance, the dominant allele masks the expression of the recessive allele in heterozygous individuals.


How is a recessive allele Different from dominant allele?

its different because adominant allele is in charge


Is a recessive allele different from a dominant allele?

Yes, a recessive allele is masked or overridden by a dominant allele in a heterozygous individual. This means that the dominant allele's trait will be expressed. In contrast, a recessive allele's trait will only be expressed if an individual has two copies of the recessive allele.
