What gene is defined as a gene that controls the appearance of a certain trait?
the dominant allele
What is an Dominant allele?
A dominant allele is a gene that holds a certain characteristic that is superior to a recessive allele. The dominant allele ALWAYS has its trait shown in the body of the recipient, except when both alleles in a gene are recessive.
What gene will exhibit its traits even in a prensesce of a recessive gene?
The dominant allele
What is homozygous-?
Every gene has a dominant and recessive allele, homozygous is just when a gene has either two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles.
When on e allele of a gene masks the presence of the other allele what form is masked?
The recessive allele.
Gene pairs consists of two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles?
A gene pair that consists of a dominant allele and a recessive allele is called a heterozygous gene. A homozygous gene, meanwhile, is a gene pair consisting of two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles.
What gene is defined as a gene that controls the appearance of a certain trait?
the dominant allele
Is a situation in which a dominant allele completely masks a recessive allele for a gene.?
If you have 2 dominant alleles, the gene will be dominant, if you have 2 recessive alleles, the gene will be recessive. But if you have 1 recessive and 1 dominant, the Dominant allele will mask the recessive one.
What gene is masked if it is paired with a dominant gene?
The different forms of a gene are called alleles. In Mendelian genetics, a gene has a dominant allele and a recessive allele. The dominant allele masks the recessive allele if present. So there are two possible dominant genotypes: homozygous dominant, in which both dominant alleles are present; and heterozygous, in which one allele is dominant and the other allele is recessive. The only way to express a recessive trait is to have the homozygous recessive genotype.
What is allele masked by the dominant allele?
The Allele That Is Covered By The Dominant Allele Is The Recessive Allele.
What is an Dominant allele?
A dominant allele is a gene that holds a certain characteristic that is superior to a recessive allele. The dominant allele ALWAYS has its trait shown in the body of the recipient, except when both alleles in a gene are recessive.
What is homozygous-?
Every gene has a dominant and recessive allele, homozygous is just when a gene has either two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles.
What gene will exhibit its traits even in a prensesce of a recessive gene?
The dominant allele
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
When one allele of a gene mask the presence of the allele what form is masked?
Dominant
When on e allele of a gene masks the presence of the other allele what form is masked?
The recessive allele.
What is the name of the gene pair that consist of a dominant allele and recessive allele?
The name of the gene pair that consists of a dominant and recessive allele, i.e. (Xx) will be a heterozygous allele. In this situation, the characteristics of the dominant characteristic will mask that of the recessive allele. People have have a heterozygous genotype may be carriers for diseases that reside on the recessive allele.
