What is it when two alleles are both equally dominant and will both show up?

codominance


When one allele does not mask the other and both show AB blood type?

This is an example of co-dominance in which both alleles are expressed equally.


Heterozygus phenotypes show qualities of both alleles?

Heterozygous phenotypes show qualities of both alleles is called co-dominance.


When both alleles can be observed in a phenotype the interaction is called?

When both alleles contribute to the phenotype of a heterozygous the alleles are said to show the dominate alleles and sometimes the recessive but mostly the dominate alleles


What is the connection between genes and alleles?

they both show something about appearance.


What will a heterozygote show when two alleles are codominant?

A heterozygote will show both phenotypes. For example, a tortoiseshell colored cat is heterozygous for black and orange coat color and it has both black and orange hairs in its coat. Refer to the following link for an illustration: http://www.great-pictures-of-cats.com/tortoiseshell-cats.html


Are dominant alleles naturally better for an organism?

No, recessive alleles are equally likely to be inherited (if your dealing with only those two types of alleles). BUT, dominant alleles are the ones that show up. That is precisely why they are called dominant. Compared to recessive alleles, dominant ones will overrule the others, making it the one inherited.


Are there magazines about nude men?

Yes there are some that show men just for women and some that show couples and are purchased equally by both


How do you describe how blood groups are examples of multiple alleles and codominance?

Because both factors are present; when we talk about blood types, we have 2 individuals with 2 different blood types and they become codominant within the reproduction; meaning, there is a set of alleles and both of them show in the phenotype.


A population of an organism sHow is more than two alleles for a characteristic this is a case of?

multiple alleles


Is the following sentence true or false all genes show simple patterns of dominant and recessive alleles?

False. Blood type genes have two dominant alleles (A and B), and one recessive (O). When a person gets one A allele and one B allele, they then have the blood type AB. Both are expressed equally. In other genes, a dominant allele might not be completely dominant, allowing the recessive allele to be partially expressed.


Why are two recessive alleles needed for a recesssive trait to be shown?

bcoz in case of one dominant and one recessive, dominant allele will express its characters and suppresses the recessive ones. so for the expression of recessive characters both allele should be recessive.
