because it dominates the phenotype
What else can I help you with?
Allele that prevents the expression of a recessive allele?
A dominant allele
Why do we call some alleles dominant?
because it dominates the phenotype
In one allele is dominant to a recessive allele?
In a dominant-recessive allele relationship, the dominant allele will be expressed phenotypically over the recessive allele. This means that even if an organism carries one dominant and one recessive allele for a particular trait, the dominant allele will determine the observable characteristic.
What do geneticists call a trait that hides other traits?
Geneticists call a trait that hides other traits a "recessive trait." When an individual has one dominant and one recessive allele for a specific trait, the dominant allele will be expressed, masking the effects of the recessive allele.
When on e allele of a gene masks the presence of the other allele what form is masked?
The recessive allele.
When a alleles creates a visible trait you call it what?
When an allele creates a visible trait, it is called a dominant allele. Dominant alleles mask the expression of recessive alleles when present in a heterozygous individual.
Why is a dominant allele called dominant apex?
because it dominates the phenotype
Which is the dominant allele?
The dominant allele is the trait that shows up in the organism when the allele is present
Allele that is always expressed if present?
An allele that is always expressed when it is present is the dominant allele.
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 is caused by a dominant allele located on an autosome?
A dominant allele located on an autosome will be expressed phenotypically in the individual, meaning it will be visible in the physical characteristics of the organism. This dominant allele will mask the effects of any recessive allele at the same locus.
Which form of gene pair is expressed when both dominant and recessive are present?
In a situation where both a dominant and recessive allele are present in a gene pair, the dominant allele will be expressed phenotypically. The presence of a dominant allele overrides the expression of the recessive allele.
