Having only one allele for a given gene means that there is no second copy of that gene present. This can be significant because it can lead to genetic disorders or traits being expressed more strongly, as there is no backup copy of the gene to compensate for any potential mutations or deficiencies.

What do you call one gene of a pair for a SPECIFIC trait is called?
Having two different alleles is said to be....?-Heterozygous
What does it mean to be heterozygous for a gene?
Being heterozygous for a gene means having two different alleles at a particular gene locus. One allele is dominant and the other is recessive. This can result in a combination of traits expressed in an individual.
Alternative versions of a gene?
Alternative versions of a gene are called alleles. Alleles are different forms of a gene that can result in distinct traits or characteristics. These variations in alleles contribute to genetic diversity within a population.
How do you use Allele Frequency in a sentence for biology?
Allele frequency refers to the proportion of a specific allele in a population's gene pool. For example, in a population of birds, the allele frequency for the gene that determines feather color might be 0.7 for the brown allele and 0.3 for the white allele.
What is the difference between an allele and a genotype in genetics?
An allele is a specific version of a gene, while a genotype refers to the combination of alleles that an individual has for a particular gene. In simpler terms, an allele is like a variation of a gene, and a genotype is the specific genetic makeup of an individual for that gene.
What is another name for an allele?
It is the variant form of a given gene
What is meant by allele frequence?
How often a certain allele (or trait) occurs in a certain population.
Is allele a gene?
yes an allele is a gene
What is meant by alleles?
Allele frequency, or gene frequency, is the proportion of a particular allele (variant of a gene) among all allele copies being considered. It can be formally defined as the percentage of all alleles at a given locus in a population gene pool represented by a particular allele.
What is the alternate form of a gene?
The answer is allele
What is homozygous-?
Every gene has a dominant and recessive allele, homozygous is just when a gene has either two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles.
What is a different between allele and gene?
an allele is a gene that is the cause of hereditary variation
What is member of a gene pair that determines a specific trait is?
an allele
Is an allele larger than a gene?
An allele is a gene. It is one form of a gene. For example, height in pea plants is controlled by one gene with two forms. A pea plant can be tall or short. There is a short allele and a tall allele for the gene governing height.
What is a type of gene?
Do you mean allele? An allele is a different molecular form of the same gene.
Each gene of a gene pair is an?
allele
What is a dominant allale?
A dominant allele is a form of gene that masks the presence of a recessive allele when both are present in an individual. This means that the trait associated with the dominant allele will be expressed in the phenotype. Dominant alleles are typically represented by uppercase letters.
