What else can I help you with?
If a population of an organism shows more than two alleles for a characteristic what is that called?
codominance
What is the condition in which there's more than one dominant allele?
Codominance is when an organism has two different dominant alleles, so both of them are expressed.When an organism has two identical dominant alleles, it is homozygous.
A population of an organism sHow is more than two alleles for a characteristic this is a case of?
This is a case of multiple allelism. Multiple allelism refers to the presence of more than two alleles for a particular gene in a population. Each individual will still only have two of these alleles.
What are alleles that have an effect on an organisms phenotype?
Alleles that have an effect on an organism's phenotype are called dominant alleles. Dominant alleles mask the effects of recessive alleles in heterozygous individuals, resulting in the dominant allele's phenotype being expressed.
What does the science word multiple alleles mean?
it means two or more forms of an allele gives off a trait to its organism.
What Describes an individual that has two alleles for a trait?
It sounds like you are referring to homozygous vs heterozygous. If an organism has two identical alleles of the same gene, it is said to be homozygous. If an organism has two different alleles of the same gene, it is said to be heterozygous.If a homozygous organism has two identical dominantalleles, it is said to be homozygous dominant, while an organism with two identical recessive alleles is said to be homozygous recessive.If this was not what you're asking, please clarify your question on the discussion page so someone can Terms_that_describe_two_alleles_of_the_same_genethis answer.
Using the terms dominant recessive explain the difference between genotype and phenotype?
No, I think you have your terms confused.The terms "dominant" and "recessive" are applied to alleles of a genotype. A genotype is an expression (using upper- and lower-case letters) that shows what alleles an organism has for a particular locus. The two alleles (in most cases) inherited (one from mother and one from father) can either be dominant or recessive. The recessive allele is not fully expressed in the presence of the dominant allele and is only expressed when there are two recessive alleles. The genotype could be called "recessive" I suppose if the genotype is homozygous recessive. But remember that two recessive alleles as a genotype is only one possibility - in which case you can't say the "genotype is recessive".The phenotype is dependent on the genotype. If present, the dominant alleles (in simple Mendelian genetics) will determine the phenotype - what the organism's trait or characteristic is. The phenotype will never be what is coded by the recessive allele unless the genotype is two recessive alleles.
What happens when a heterotroph eats more food than it needs?
it is stored by an organism as fatIt is stored by an organism as fat.
What is the external appearance of an organism by which alleles are present?
Genes code for all genetic physical traits, so allele combinations code everything from metabolism rate to pigment coloring. Everything from the shape of your fingernails to whether you're more likely to get heart disease is an expression of an allele combination.
What happens to the allels durnig meiosis?
The alleles of 2 or more different gene pairs assort independently of one another.
What happens when more than two alternatives for a gene exist?
When more than two alternatives for a gene exist, it is known as multiple alleles. In this scenario, the gene may have more than two allelic forms, each of which can produce a different effect on the phenotype of an organism. This can lead to a wider range of observable traits or variations within a population.
Which is most inclusive A. Allele B. Genotype?
Genotype is more inclusive than allele. Genotype refers to the genetic makeup of an organism, including all alleles present at a particular genetic locus. Allele is a specific form of a gene that can be present at a given locus within an organism's genome.
