What is trait called that appear only when both alleles are present?

A trait that appears only when both alleles are present is called a recessive trait. In this case, the trait is masked when the dominant allele is present, but becomes visible when two copies of the recessive allele are inherited.


For each trait there are allele possibilities?

Yes, that is correct. Each trait is controlled by genes, and genes exist in different forms called alleles. For any given trait, an individual can have two alleles—one inherited from their mother and one from their father. These alleles can have different variations, resulting in different expression of the trait.

A trait which results from two dominant genes is called?

It would depend on if the dominant genes are the same or different. Say the dominant alleles were different. In this case, they are co-dominant. If they are the same and both dominant homosytus.

What are genes with three or more alleles called?

this makes no scientific sense. A gene (which determines a phenotypic trait) can only contain 2 alleles. However codominace allows for multiple alleles to be chosen from, but only 2 picked for a gene. Also, if multiple genes determine a phenotypic trait that's polygenic inheritance.
