What is allele masked by the dominant allele?
An allele that is masked by the dominant allele is called a recessive allele. When an individual has one dominant allele and one recessive allele, only the trait determined by the dominant allele will be expressed. The recessive allele will only be expressed if an individual has two copies of it (homozygous recessive).
What type of allele is masked when a dominant allele is present?
The recessive allele is masked when a dominant allele is present. Dominant alleles are expressed over recessive alleles in heterozygous individuals.
When on e allele of a gene masks the presence of the other allele what form is masked?
The recessive allele.
When one allele of a gene mask the presence of the allele what form is masked?
Dominant
The weaker of two alleles in a pair that is often masked by the dominant allele?
The recessive allele.
What is a dominant allele what is a recessive allele?
An allele that hide the effect of other allele is called dominant.Allele that is masked is called recessive .
In a heterozygote the allele that does not affect the trait?
The allele that does not affect the trait in a heterozygote is known as the recessive allele. This allele is masked by the dominant allele, which determines the observable trait. However, the recessive allele can still be passed on to offspring if both parents are carriers.
Is it true that mendel assumed that a dominant allele had masked the corresponding recessive allele in the f1 generation?
Yes, Gregor Mendel's principle of dominance stated that in the F1 generation, the dominant allele would mask the expression of the corresponding recessive allele. This means that only the dominant trait would be observed in the offspring.
What is the general term for an allele that masked in the phenotype by the present of another allele?
Recessive. It is denoted by the lower case version of the first letter of the Dominant gene. For example, if the dominant is "A" then the allele is "a".
When an allele mask the presence of another allele it is said to be?
Dominent. Simple- you have two types of Alleles, Dominent and Reccessive. Imagine a punnet square for the allele that causes albinoism (A). One parent has Aa, or one dominent allele and one reccessive allele for the trait. If the dominent skin-tone gene wasn't there (A), then it would be AA and he would be an albino. But since he has a dominent allele, he has normal color. If he made a baby with another Aa combination, they would have 25% chance of having an AA baby with no reccessive allele, a 50% chance of having an identical Aa combination, and a 25% chance of having an albino baby, AA.
Is a recessive allele different from a dominant allele?
Yes, a recessive allele is masked or overridden by a dominant allele in a heterozygous individual. This means that the dominant allele's trait will be expressed. In contrast, a recessive allele's trait will only be expressed if an individual has two copies of the recessive allele.
What is The general term for an allele that masks the presence of another allele in the phenotype?
The general term for an allele that masks the presence of another allele in the phenotype is "dominant." Dominant alleles are expressed phenotypically when present, masking the effects of recessive alleles.
