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).
If and individual has one dominant allele and one recessive allele will the recessive allele show up?
No, the dominant allele will be expressed in the individual's phenotype, masking the presence of the recessive allele. The recessive allele will only be expressed if an individual inherits two copies of the recessive allele.
What is it called having a dominate and recessive allele?
Having a dominant and recessive allele is known as Mendelian inheritance, named after Gregor Mendel, the scientist who first described it. In this type of inheritance, the dominant allele masks the expression of the recessive allele in heterozygous individuals.
If a pea plant is heterozygous for a particular character how can the alleles that control the character be described?
The alleles controlling the character in a heterozygous pea plant can be described as one dominant allele and one recessive allele. The dominant allele determines the plant's phenotype, while the recessive allele is masked in the presence of the dominant allele.
Why do we call some alleles dominant?
because it dominates the phenotype
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).
Is a situation in which a dominant allele completely masks a recessive allele for a gene.?
If you have 2 dominant alleles, the gene will be dominant, if you have 2 recessive alleles, the gene will be recessive. But if you have 1 recessive and 1 dominant, the Dominant allele will mask the recessive one.
How Dominant allele different from recessive allele?
You need two recessive alleles to get their trait, but only one dominant allele to get that trait. A dominant allele basically overrides a recessive one if they are together, but the recessive gene can show up in offspring.
What is e difference between a dominate and recessive allele?
The answer is that The difference is that dominant dominates, and recessive is dominated.
If and individual has one dominant allele and one recessive allele will the recessive allele show up?
No, the dominant allele will be expressed in the individual's phenotype, masking the presence of the recessive allele. The recessive allele will only be expressed if an individual inherits two copies of the recessive allele.
Does a recessive allele need another recessive allele to be expressed?
Yes, a recessive allele needs to be paired with another recessive allele in order to be expressed. This is because recessive alleles are only expressed when an individual has two copies of the recessive allele, one from each parent. If an individual has one dominant allele and one recessive allele for a particular trait, the dominant allele will be expressed.
An allele that is able to cover the recessive?
dominant allele will overthrow a recessive one
What is it called having a dominate and recessive allele?
Having a dominant and recessive allele is known as Mendelian inheritance, named after Gregor Mendel, the scientist who first described it. In this type of inheritance, the dominant allele masks the expression of the recessive allele in heterozygous individuals.
When on e allele of a gene masks the presence of the other allele what form is masked?
The recessive allele.
If a pea plant is heterozygous for a particular character how can the alleles that control the character be described?
The alleles controlling the character in a heterozygous pea plant can be described as one dominant allele and one recessive allele. The dominant allele determines the plant's phenotype, while the recessive allele is masked in the presence of the dominant allele.
How is a recessive allele from a dominant allele?
its different because adominant allele is in charge
What is the term for an allele that is not expressed in the phenotype of a heterozygous individual?
incomplete dominance source: PH Bio textbook
