Best Answer

A dominant genotype is represented as DD or Dd but with many different letters. The DD is a homozygous dominant, while the Dd is the heterozygous dominant. Recessive is always represented as dd or rr or whatever letter you want to use. It is always homozygous recessive. There can never be a heterozygous recessive.

How is a recessive allele from a dominant allele?

its different because adominant allele is in charge


What gene is masked if it is paired with a dominant gene?

The different forms of a gene are called alleles. In Mendelian genetics, a gene has a dominant allele and a recessive allele. The dominant allele masks the recessive allele if present. So there are two possible dominant genotypes: homozygous dominant, in which both dominant alleles are present; and heterozygous, in which one allele is dominant and the other allele is recessive. The only way to express a recessive trait is to have the homozygous recessive genotype.


What is allele masked by the dominant allele?

The Allele That Is Covered By The Dominant Allele Is The Recessive Allele.


What following genotypes will express a dominant trait?

For a dominant trait to be expressed, you either need a RR or an Rr genotype. The other genotype, rr, is recessive only. In genetics, capital letters represent a dominant allele, and lower case letters represent the recessive allele.


What letters are given in genetics to represent the dominate allele?

capital letters, such as PP equals two dominant alleles, pp equals two recessive alleles.


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.

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


Is a situation in which a dominant allele completely masks a recessive allele for a gene.?

If you have 2 dominant alleles, the gene will be dominant, if you have 2 recessive alleles, the gene will be recessive. But if you have 1 recessive and 1 dominant, the Dominant allele will mask the recessive one.


Is albinism controlled by a dominant allele or by a recessive allele?

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.


When on e allele of a gene masks the presence of the other allele what form is masked?

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!
