Well, a dominant allele carries dominant traits from parents to offspring. An example of a dominant trait is brown hair and brown eyes because these traits are most likely to show up on a human than a recessive allele. A recessive allele may carry a recessive trait from parents to offspring such as blonde hair and blue eyes, these are uncommon because they are recessive traits.
What else can I help you with?
Is straight hair controlled by a dominate allele or recessive allele?
Straight hair is typically controlled by a dominant allele. Curly hair is usually controlled by a 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.
What happens to the recessive allele in a heterozygous offspring?
In a heterozygous offspring, the recessive allele is present but not expressed because the dominant allele masks its effects.
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).
What are two forms that a gene or allele may take?
A gene or allele may take a dominant form, or a recessive form. If the allele is recessive, the characteristic which is coded for will be exhibited only if both the gene from the male and the gene from the female is recessive. Only one copy of a dominant allele is required to cause expression of the dominant characteristic
Dominate allele will mask any other allele that is considered what?
recessive
What gene pair that consists of a dominate allele and a recessive allele?
the tiger of ireland
How many alleles are usually in the gene pool for each trait?
Each gene has a dominate and recessive allele, so there are two types of alleles in each gene. The dominate allele is stronger than the recessive allele unless there are two recessive alleles.
Is straight hair controlled by a dominate allele or recessive allele?
Straight hair is typically controlled by a dominant allele. Curly hair is usually controlled by a recessive allele.
What is e difference between a dominate and recessive allele?
The answer is that The difference is that dominant dominates, and recessive is dominated.
Recessive allele different from dominate 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.
Are alleles dominant or recessive?
Alleles are neither entirely recessive nor entirely dominate. An allele is any one of a number of alternative forms of the same gene on a chromosome.For example: say a flower only blooms either red or white flowers. There is a different allele for each color-- a red allele and a white allele. Now, one color may be dominate over the other recessive gene. For example, if the red color was dominate and the white color was recessive, then those certain alleles would be dominate and recessive, respectively. But alleles in general cannot be either recessive or dominate. It depends on the gene and it depends on the trait.
What One recessive and one dominate allele?
A dominant allele could be right handedness, or a straight hairline. A recessive allele could be freckles, a widows peak, clef chin, or left handedness.
Every allele is a what allele?
No! they are different
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.
What happens to the recessive allele in a heterozygous offspring?
In a heterozygous offspring, the recessive allele is present but not expressed because the dominant allele masks its effects.
What will always hide a recessive trait?
A dominant trait will always hide a recessive trait in an individual's phenotype because the dominant allele is expressed over the recessive allele in the presence of both alleles.
