Well, a dominant allele carries dominant traits from parents to offspring. An example of a dominant trait is brown hair and brown eyes because these traits are most likely to show up on a human than a recessive allele. A recessive allele may carry a recessive trait from parents to offspring such as blonde hair and blue eyes, these are uncommon because they are recessive traits.

∙ 12y agoIt means that neither allele is completely dominant over the other. This means that a heterozygote would display traits of both the phenotypes.
For example, if BB is black fur and bb is white fur, Bb would have black and white spots.

What is it called having a dominate and recessive allele?
If an individual has one recessive allele and one dominant allele, they are known as heterozygous. The dominant trait will be expressed.
What gene won't display its trait in the prescience of a dominate trait?
The recessive form of a gene, called a recessive allele, will not be expressed in the presence of the dominant form of the gene, called a dominant allele.
What are two forms that a gene or allele may take?
A gene or allele may take a dominant form, or a recessive form. If the allele is recessive, the characteristic which is coded for will be exhibited only if both the gene from the male and the gene from the female is recessive. Only one copy of a dominant allele is required to cause expression of the dominant characteristic
What is allele masked by the dominant allele?
The Allele That Is Covered By The Dominant Allele Is The Recessive Allele.
What is a genotype with one dominant and one recessive gene?
The genotype of a person with one dominate allele for a gene and one recessive would be expressed as Aa or Yy. You can use any letter you would like except one will be shown as a capital (dominate) and one as a lower case (recessive). This combination is heterozygous for that trait.
Dominate allele will mask any other allele that is considered what?
recessive
What gene pair that consists of a dominate allele and a recessive allele?
the tiger of ireland
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.
What is e difference between a dominate and recessive allele?
The answer is that The difference is that dominant dominates, and recessive is dominated.
Recessive allele different from dominate allele?
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.
What is it called having a dominate and recessive allele?
If an individual has one recessive allele and one dominant allele, they are known as heterozygous. The dominant trait will be expressed.
Every allele is a what allele?
No! they are different
What form of gene that always shows even in the presence of recessive allele?
Dominate
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.
What gene won't display its trait in the prescience of a dominate trait?
The recessive form of a gene, called a recessive allele, will not be expressed in the presence of the dominant form of the gene, called a dominant allele.
Occurs when each allele is equally emphasized?
If this happens, the dominant allele masks the recessive allele.
