When different alleles of a trait are present, one allele may be dominant over the other, expressing its associated trait while the recessive allele remains hidden. In some cases, both alleles may exert influence, resulting in a blending or co-dominant expression. Additionally, the presence of multiple alleles can lead to a range of phenotypic variations within a population.
What else can I help you with?
Are the alleles present for a trait the same?
No, alleles for a trait can be the same (homozygous) or different (heterozygous) in an individual.
Can you explain how individuals with the same alleles for a specific trait are similar or different from those with different alleles for the same trait?
Individuals with the same alleles for a specific trait will have similar physical characteristics related to that trait. On the other hand, individuals with different alleles for the same trait will have varying physical characteristics. This is because alleles determine the expression of traits, and different alleles can lead to different outcomes in terms of physical appearance or other characteristics.
What is trait called that appear only when both alleles are present?
A trait that appears only when both alleles are present is called a recessive trait. In this case, the trait is masked when the dominant allele is present, but becomes visible when two copies of the recessive allele are inherited.
What are different versions of a gene for the same trait called?
Different versions of a gene for the same trait are called alleles. Alleles can result in different observable traits depending on their specific sequence and how they interact with each other.
What is an example of a different form a gene may have for a trait?
The different forms of a genes for a single trait are known as alleles there can be a dominate allele which always shows up when present and a recessive allele which only shows up when both alleles are recessive or there is no dominate allele
Are the alleles present for a trait the same?
No, alleles for a trait can be the same (homozygous) or different (heterozygous) in an individual.
What happens when 2 different allele s for the same trait are present?
if the two alleles are the same in the same box in the punnett square then that trait is expressed. when there is a double in a punnett square then that gene is always expressed
What oranism has two different alleles for a trait?
An organism that possesses two different alleles for a trait is said to be heterozygous for that trait.
When the alleles present for a trait are the same. the genes are called?
When the alleles present for a trait are the same, the genes are called homozygous. This means that both alleles for a particular gene are identical. Homozygous individuals can have either two dominant alleles (homozygous dominant) or two recessive alleles (homozygous recessive).
When a pair of chromosomes contains different alleles for a trait that trait is called a what when a trait has two identical alleles it is called?
2 different alelles - heterozygous Same alelles - homozygous
Can you explain how individuals with the same alleles for a specific trait are similar or different from those with different alleles for the same trait?
Individuals with the same alleles for a specific trait will have similar physical characteristics related to that trait. On the other hand, individuals with different alleles for the same trait will have varying physical characteristics. This is because alleles determine the expression of traits, and different alleles can lead to different outcomes in terms of physical appearance or other characteristics.
The different forms of a trait that a gene may have are called?
Alleles
What is trait called that appear only when both alleles are present?
A trait that appears only when both alleles are present is called a recessive trait. In this case, the trait is masked when the dominant allele is present, but becomes visible when two copies of the recessive allele are inherited.
What does a trait with four alleles have?
A trait with four alleles means there are four different versions of that gene present in the population. This increases the genetic diversity of individuals for that trait, leading to a wider range of possible phenotypes. The presence of multiple alleles can result in more complex patterns of inheritance, such as incomplete dominance or codominance.
What are different versions of a gene for the same trait called?
Different versions of a gene for the same trait are called alleles. Alleles can result in different observable traits depending on their specific sequence and how they interact with each other.
What is an example of a different form a gene may have for a trait?
The different forms of a genes for a single trait are known as alleles there can be a dominate allele which always shows up when present and a recessive allele which only shows up when both alleles are recessive or there is no dominate allele
Organisms that has two different alleles for a trait?
An organism with two different alleles for a trait is said to be heterozygous for that trait. This means that it has one dominant allele and one recessive allele. The dominant allele will usually determine the organism's phenotype for that trait.
