They don't express in heterozygous condition ,hence remain in gene pool .

When a plant has Two recessive alleles for wrinkled seeds how would you write the symbols for its alleles?
well it depends on the letters that you are given, recessive alleles are ALWAYS lower case.An example answer would be: ss, where s would represent the recessive allele.
Are organisms with alleles BB recessive or dominant?
An organism with the alleles BB would be homozygous dominant.
What is it when an allele is neither dominant nor recessive?
this is called codominance when alleles are neither dominant or recessive.
Is Ee a heterzygous or homozygous?
It would be heterozygous because the two alleles are different (one dominant and one recessive). EE would be homozygous dominant and ee would be homozygous recessive.
What alleles would a homozygous recessive organism have?
2 lowercase letters Ex. cc or tt or AA
What alleles is the recessive alleles explain why?
it would be t recie
When a plant has two recessive alleles for short stems its alleles are written?
well it depends on the letters that you are given, recessive alleles are ALWAYS lower case.An example answer would be: ss, where s would represent 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.
How do you represent alleles?
Alleles are represented as: Gg Where G is the dominant trait and g is the recessive trait Therefore, homozygous dominant would be: GG Homozygous recessive would be: gg and heterozygous would be Gg
Is a recessive gene expressed?
Ok, im assuming your question is "if two recessive alleles are present will the trait be expressed" A trait will be expressed if two alleles are recessive but it will not be the same representation as two dominant alleles. For example, T being a tall pea plant and t being a small pea plant. Two recessive alleles or, homozygous recessive, alleles The other option would be there is one dominant and one recessive, heterozygous, which would look like Tt. This would take on the trait of the dominant allele usually expressed by the capital letter. So this heterozygous plant would be tall.
What is the phenotype of an individual with one alleles for dimples and one for one dimples?
This would depend on whether the allele for dimples is dominant or recessive. If the allele for dimples is dominant and the no dimples allele is recessive then the phenotype of the individual would be dimpled. If the allele for no dimples is dominant and the allele for no dimples is recessive then the dimples will not be expressed. If these alleles are codominant then the dimples will be expressed but not as much as in an individual who has both alleles for dimples.
Is Ee a heterzygous or homozygous?
It would be heterozygous because the two alleles are different (one dominant and one recessive). EE would be homozygous dominant and ee would be homozygous recessive.
What is two dominant alleles called?
In eyes, it would be brown is dominant, and blue is recessive. Free earlobe allele is said to be dominant over the attached earlobe allele. When an organism has two dominant alleles for a trait, it is called homozygous dominant. Two recessive alleles for a trait is homozygous recessive.
Differences between dominant and recessive?
Dominant is stronger than recessive. So you can only have the phenotype ( visual characteristic ) of a recessive allele if you have 2 recessive alleles in your DNA , and other combination the dominant allele would be predominant
