What do geneticists call alleles that are both expressed in the phenotype when they are together?

Genetic makeup formed from both inherited alleles together is called a genotype.
Homozygous alleles would be a pair of identical alleles for a single trait. Heterozygous is different alleles for a single trait.

What are inactive alleles?
Inactive alleles (usually called recessive) are not fully expressed in the phenotype of the organism.
How is incomplete dominance expressed in phenotype?
In complete dominance, only one allele in the genotype is seen in the phenotype. In codominance, both alleles in the genotype are seen in the phenotype. In incomplete dominance, a mixture of the alleles in the genotype is seen in the phenotype.
What is an individual with genotype AAA described as?
An Aa genotype can result in the same phenotype as either an AA or AA genotype, if one of the alleles acts in a dominant fashion. If the A allele is dominant over the a allele, then the phenotype of a heterozygous (Aa) individual will be the same as the phenotype of a homozygous dominant (AA) individual.
What Dominant alleles are both fully expressed in a phenotype?
The form of inheritance in which two (different) alleles are both expressed is called codominance. An example of codominance is the orange and black coat of a type of calico cat called a tortoiseshell. Both the orange allele and the black allele for coat color are expressed.
Why do we call some alleles dominant?
because it dominates the phenotype
What is it when the presence of two different alleles results in an intermediate?
When a heterozygous genotype (two different alleles) results in an intermediate phenotype, this is either codominance or incomplete dominance. If it is codominance, then both alleles are expressed together in the phenotype. If it is incomplete dominance, the two alleles produce a blended phenotype rather than both alleles being expressed together.
Dominance that occurs whenever the hybrid genotype produces a new intermediate phenotype?
When a heterozygous genotype (two different alleles) results in an intermediate phenotype, this is either codominance or incomplete dominance. If it is codominance, then both alleles are expressed together in the phenotype. If it is incomplete dominance, the two alleles produce a blended phenotype rather than both alleles being expressed together.
In what alleles can be observed in the phenotype?
you mean phenotype, and its dominant alleles
How does codominance effect phenotype?
both alleles are expressed in the offsping
What are inactive alleles?
Inactive alleles (usually called recessive) are not fully expressed in the phenotype of the organism.
How is incomplete dominance expressed in phenotype?
In complete dominance, only one allele in the genotype is seen in the phenotype. In codominance, both alleles in the genotype are seen in the phenotype. In incomplete dominance, a mixture of the alleles in the genotype is seen in the phenotype.
What is the result of two recessive alleles joined?
Two recessive alleles (homozygous) will result in the recessive trait being expressed as a phenotype.
What is an individual with genotype AAA described as?
An Aa genotype can result in the same phenotype as either an AA or AA genotype, if one of the alleles acts in a dominant fashion. If the A allele is dominant over the a allele, then the phenotype of a heterozygous (Aa) individual will be the same as the phenotype of a homozygous dominant (AA) individual.

How are Genotype phenotype different?
Phenotypes are the traits expressed by the genotype. So, for blood type, a person can have A and i alleles (genotype). However, in the phenotype, since i is recessive, only the A will be expressed, and the person will have an A blood type.
Why you called co-dominance when a person possess two different alleles at the same locus and both alleles are expressed in the phenotype?
Both of the parent's alleles are either dominant or recessive.
Why do we call some alleles dominant?
because it dominates the phenotype
