What else can I help you with?
Is when one allele completely masks another?
This is called complete dominance, where one allele completely masks the expression of another allele in a heterozygous individual. The dominant allele is expressed phenotypically, while the recessive allele remains hidden.
When one trait is said to cancel out another trait what kind of relationship is said to exist?
When one trait cancels out another trait, it is referred to as a relationship of epistasis. Epistasis occurs when the expression of one gene masks or modifies the expression of another gene.
What is the term applied when one gene interferes with the expression of another?
Transcriptional Activator or Transcriptional Repressor. They bind to the promoter region thereby blocking the gene product Regulator
Does the inheritance of one trait effect the inheritance of another trait?
The inheritance of one trait does not directly affect the inheritance of another trait, as different traits are usually controlled by different genes. However, traits located on the same chromosome may be inherited together due to genetic linkage.
One trait masking another form of a trait?
Incomplete dominance is when one allele does not completely mask another allele, resulting in an intermediate phenotype. This can occur when both alleles contribute to the trait, rather than one completely dominating the other.
What is complte inheritance?
Complete inheritance refers to a situation where one allele is completely dominant over another in a gene pair, resulting in the dominant allele always being expressed in the phenotype, while the recessive allele remains hidden. This type of inheritance follows Mendel's laws of inheritance, where dominant traits mask the expression of recessive traits in an individual's phenotype.
When one trait is not completely dominant over another it is called .?
Incomplete dominance or co-dominant
What is it alled when one allele is not completely dominant over another?
This is called codominance.
How do alleles interact in intermediate inheritance?
In intermediate inheritance, two different alleles at a single gene locus interact to produce a phenotype that is a blend of the two alleles. This results in a phenotype that falls between the dominant and recessive traits, rather than showing a clear dominant-recessive relationship. Both alleles contribute to the final phenotype in a co-dominant or blending manner.
When one trait is not completely dominant over another is called a what?
When one trait is not completely dominate over another, this is called incomplete dominance. What will be seen (phenotype) will be a blending of the two.
Is when one allele completely masks another?
This is called complete dominance, where one allele completely masks the expression of another allele in a heterozygous individual. The dominant allele is expressed phenotypically, while the recessive allele remains hidden.
Definition of dominant in science?
In science, particularly in genetics, "dominant" refers to an allele that expresses its trait in the presence of another allele, known as recessive. When an organism has at least one dominant allele for a particular trait, the dominant trait will manifest in its phenotype. This concept is fundamental in understanding inheritance patterns and how traits are passed from parents to offspring.
A genetic factor that blocks another genetic factor is called what?
A genetic factor that blocks the expression of another genetic factor is called a "dominant" allele. In genetics, when one allele is dominant over another, it masks the effect of the recessive allele, preventing it from being expressed in the phenotype. This interaction is a fundamental principle of Mendelian inheritance.
What is it called in situations in which one allele for a gene is not completely dominant over another allele for that gene?
incomplete dominance
What is it called when one trait is completely dominant over another?
This is called codominance in this case, neither allele is dominant over another, it creates in heterozyogous individuals a phenotype that is not in intermediate, nor the phenotype either of the two alleles create, but rather, a different phenotype.
What is a trait that is overridden by another trait?
Eye color is an example of a trait that is typically determined by genetic inheritance, but can also be temporarily influenced by wearing colored contact lenses. This demonstrates how environmental factors can override genetic traits.
When one trait is said to cancel out another trait what kind of relationship is said to exist?
When one trait cancels out another trait, it is referred to as a relationship of epistasis. Epistasis occurs when the expression of one gene masks or modifies the expression of another gene.
