Suppose letter T represent an allele for tallness in an organism, its homozygous combination would be TT and heterozygous combination would be Tt.

Is a recessive allele different from a dominant allele?
Yes, they are different. A recessive allele gets its name because when in the presence of a dominant allele, it will "recede" and not show, hence the name for the dominant allele.
What does recessive allele mean?
Recessive allele disorders are just as they sound - they are disorders that are a result of a prevalent recessive allele in one's genetic makeup. A recessive allele disorder will rarely occur since it is dependent on the crossing of two heterozygous parent cells, but it can lead to interesting consequences. An example of a recessive allele disorder is hemophilia - the body's inability to clot blood - and it has affected much of the European royalty in history, such as Queen Victoria of Great Britain.
An allele that is hidden by other alleles is called?
i think the answer your lokking for is recessive Recessive is when you have a trait in your genome but it doesn't show in your physical appearance
What will be the phenotype of a heterzygous gerbil?
A gerbil with a recessive gene would generally not show it, aka it will not show as a phenotype. However, there are slight differences in some gerbils with recessives, such as a lighter coat if the gerbil has a recessive c(h), g, or a.
What Percentage Of The Offspring Will Be Expected To Have The TTYy Allele Combination?
50 percent
What is another word for heterzygous?
hybrid combination
What is heterzygous?
Its like another offspring of a homozygous heterzygous in genetics mean both
What is the allele that will always show physically?
The Dominant allele hoped this helped! :)
What is an allie that is covered up or hidden?
If you mean allele, then the answer is a recessive allele. A recessive allele is dominated by a dominant allele, and generally does not show up physically.
Is a recessive allele different from a dominant allele?
Yes, they are different. A recessive allele gets its name because when in the presence of a dominant allele, it will "recede" and not show, hence the name for the dominant allele.
What is the allele combination of an individual?
Genotype
How do you read a Punnet Square?
Reading a punnet square is much like reading a grid map. Start with one finger on the father allele and one on the mother allele and find where they meet in the middle, the combination of both the father allele and the mother allele will give you the genotype. Repeat for all four middle squares. In all punnet squares, the dominate gene is the capital letter (e.g R) and the recessive gene is the normal letter (e.g r). When two dominate alleles show (RR) the phenotype will show the dominate gene. When one dominate and one recessive allele show the dominate gene will still show (Rr), in females they call it them a carrier female because they carry the recessive allele as well. When two recessive alleles show (rr) the recessive feature will show in the phenotype.
In a hybrid plant if every allele combination has two alleles what is the probability of one allele?
5o:50
Is a heterozygous individual a carrier?
What is a heterzygous individual?
What is an organisms genetic makeup or allele combination?
Genotype
What is an individual called that has two different alleles for a trait?
Someone who possesses both a dominant and a recessive form of a gene. So if mum has blue eyes (say it's recessive and expressed as "bb") and dad has brown eyes (say it's dominant and he's homozygous dominant: BB), then all of their children would have heterozygous brown eyes (Bb).
Heterozygous persons with one sickle cell allele and one normal allele also show resistance to?
Malaria
