Why are many harmful alleles recessive?
The reason many harmful alleles are recessive is because the harmful alleles that were dominant stopped the carrier from reproducing so the allele was not carried on. A dominant trait is expressed if present and would harm the carrier. A recessive trait however can remain in the genotype of an individual and not the phenotype so they will not be harmed by the trait but can pass it on to offspring. In short: dominant harmful alleles stopped the carriers from producing so the allele was not spread.
The new combinations of alleles produced by crossover events help to generate genetic?
The new combination of alleles produced by crossover events help to generate genetic diversity. This is because the offspring are different from the parents.
What type of alleles mask recessive alleles?
Dominant alleles :-)
What are the multiple forms of genes called?
Alleles are genes that exist in multiple forms.
What term describes a pair of alleles that are the same?
Alleles that are the same = homozygous Alleles that are different = heterozygous

Which is a process that eliments harmful alleles from a gene pool?
natural selection
What is a process that eliminate harmful alleles from a gene pool?
negative selection.

The new combination of alleles produced by crossover events help to generate genetic diversity. This is because the offspring are different from the parents.
Most copies of harmful recessive alleles are carried by?
individuals that are heterozygous for alleles
How is biological diversity increased?
More alleles in the population. For example a group of ten blue eyed people: diversity would be increased if they had 5 blue and 5 brown eyed people.
What is gene pair consists of two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles?
A gene pair that consists of 2 dominant or 2 recessive alleles is considered homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive.
When the alleles of a gene pair are different they are said to be what?
They are considered to be heterozygous not heterosexual!
If you have two copies of the same allele are considered to be for that traits whereas if you have two different alleles you are considered to be for that trait?
homozygous, heterozygous
What is a detrimental gene?
A deleterious mutation has a negative effect on the phenotype, and thus decreases the fitness of the organism. (A harmful mutation)
