What is the allele that will always show physically?
The Dominant allele hoped this helped! :)
What is an Dominant allele?
A dominant allele is a gene that holds a certain characteristic that is superior to a recessive allele. The dominant allele ALWAYS has its trait shown in the body of the recipient, except when both alleles in a gene are recessive.
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.
Is it true that a defective allele always recessive and a normal allele always dominant?
No. The gene that causes Huntington's is caused by an autosomal dominant mutation, and one form of inherited Parkinson's is also caused by an autosomal dominant mutation.
What is the difference between dominant alleles and recessive alleles?
dominant-appears in first generation recessive-seems to dissapear
Allele that is always expressed if present?
An allele that is always expressed when it is present is the dominant 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!

What is an allele that always shows up in an organism's phenotype called - an allele that masks the other allele?
The dominant allele.

What is an allele whose trait always shows up in the organism?
type 2 Diabetes
Is it true that a defective allele always recessive and a normal allele always dominant?
No. The gene that causes Huntington's is caused by an autosomal dominant mutation, and one form of inherited Parkinson's is also caused by an autosomal dominant mutation.
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 the difference between dominant alleles and recessive alleles?

What is the term for dominance in which the dominant allele is always expressed?
Complete dominance
When on e allele of a gene masks the presence of the other allele what form is masked?
The recessive allele.
