Recessive allele disorders are just as they sound - they are disorders that are a result of a prevalent recessive allele in one's genetic makeup. A recessive allele disorder will rarely occur since it is dependent on the crossing of two heterozygous parent cells, but it can lead to interesting consequences. An example of a recessive allele disorder is hemophilia - the body's inability to clot blood - and it has affected much of the European royalty in history, such as Queen Victoria of Great Britain.

∙ 11y agoA recessive allele is only detectable in a homozygous recessive genotype. If a recessive allele is in a heterzygous genotype (with a dominant and recessive), then the phenotype will be that of the dominant's allele.
In other words, recessive allele is masked by a dominant allele and cannot be easily detectable unless it is paired with another recessive allele.

∙ 9y agoA recessive allele is the form of a gene that will only be expressed when the dominant allele is not present.

∙ 11y agoRecessive genes are the opposite of dominant genes. For example, out of blue and brown eye genes, blue eyes are the recessive and brown eyes are the dominant gene.

What is allele masked by the dominant allele?
The Allele That Is Covered By The Dominant Allele Is The Recessive Allele.
What does a lower case letter of an allele refer mean?
A lower case lettered allele means that the allele is recessive.
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.
An allele that is hidden by other alleles is called?
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
In one allele is dominant to a recessive allele?
In _____, one allele is dominant to a recessive allele.
What is an allie that is covered up or hidden?
If you mean allele, then the answer is a recessive allele. A recessive allele is dominated by a dominant allele, and generally does not show up physically.
What is allele masked by the dominant allele?
The Allele That Is Covered By The Dominant Allele Is The Recessive Allele.
Is albinism controlled by a dominant allele or by a recessive allele?
Recessive allele.
Does a recessive allele need another recessive allele to be expressed?
I think if an allele "want" to be expressed, then it has to have a dominant allele. They don't need another recessive allele.
What does a lower case letter of an allele refer mean?
A lower case lettered allele means that the allele is recessive.
Is albinism controlled by a dominant allele o recessive allele?
It is controlled by a recessive allele.
What is the term for an allele that is not expressed in the phenotype of a heterozygous individual?
incomplete dominance source: PH Bio textbook
How do you write dominant and recessive allels?
normally, the dominant allele is expressed as a capital letter and the recessive allele is expressed as a lowercase letter, if that's what you mean!
How is a recessive allele from a dominant allele?
its different because adominant allele is in charge
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.
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 does it mean that CF is a recessive gene?
The phenotype associated with a recessive gene is only expressed when two copies of the gene are present. For example, if a person has both a recessive allele and a dominant allele for CF, the person does not have CF. The person only has CF if he/she has two copies of the recessive allele.
