How many recessive alleles are needed to be expressed?
Depends on the characteristic. Assuming you're talking about a very simple monogenic characteristic (ie. a characteristic which is dependent on one gene only) your dominant allele will always trump your recessive allele. So, one copy of your dominant allele is all that's needed to give you that characteristic (final genotype is either homozygous dominant or heterozygous), whereas you'd need two copies of your recessive allele (homozygous recessive) to get that characteristic. Much beyond that and it gets verycomplicated.
How is a recessive allele from a dominant allele?
its different because adominant allele is in charge
What is a Reciessive form of an allele?
A recessive form of an allele is one that is only expressed in the presence of another 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

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
Differences between dominant and recessive?
Dominant is stronger than recessive. So you can only have the phenotype ( visual characteristic ) of a recessive allele if you have 2 recessive alleles in your DNA , and other combination the dominant allele would be predominant

Describes a trait or an allele that is expressed only when two of the alleles for the saame characteristic are inherited?
I believe the answer is dominant. Please don't be rude if this isn't the correct answer.
Is an allele that produces a trait in the heterozygous condition recessive?
No. A recessive allele will not be expressed phenotypically in the heterozygous state. A recessive allele can only be expressed phenotypically in the homozygous state.
What is meant by dominance?
Complete dominance means that the dominant allele completely masks the effects of the recessive allele. The only way a recessive allele can be exhibited phenotypically is if the organism is homozygous recessive for that allele.

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.

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.
