What is the difference between an inactive allele and an expressed allele?
An expressed allele is actively used to produce a specific protein or trait in an organism, while an inactive allele is not being actively used or expressed due to various factors such as mutations or epigenetic modifications. Inactive alleles may still be present in an individual's genetic makeup but are not contributing to 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).
Allele that prevents the expression of a recessive allele?
A dominant allele
Is a recessive allele different from a dominant allele?
Yes, a recessive allele is masked or overridden by a dominant allele in a heterozygous individual. This means that the dominant allele's trait will be expressed. In contrast, a recessive allele's trait will only be expressed if an individual has two copies of the recessive allele.
In one allele is dominant to a recessive allele?
In a dominant-recessive allele relationship, the dominant allele will be expressed phenotypically over the recessive allele. This means that even if an organism carries one dominant and one recessive allele for a particular trait, the dominant allele will determine the observable characteristic.

Allele that prevents the expression of a recessive allele?
A dominant allele
What is the alternate form of a gene?
The answer is allele
An allele that is dominated or cover up by another allele is called what?
An allele that is dominated or covered up by another allele is called a recessive allele. This means that the trait associated with the recessive allele is only expressed when an individual carries two copies of that allele.
How is the sickle cell allele maintained through natural selection?
Individuals with two recessive alleles have very high rates of reproduction.
When on e allele of a gene masks the presence of the other allele what form is masked?
The recessive allele.
Is albinism controlled by a dominant allele or by a recessive allele?
Recessive allele.
What is an expressed allele in a heterozygote?
Dominant allele as opposed to recessive allele.
What is a dominent allele?
A dominant allele is an allele that can take over a recessive allele, so if you have a dominant allele and a recessive allele, then the offspring will most likely have a dominant allele over a recessive allele. The dominant allele is expressed over the recessive allele.
When one allele of a gene masks the presence of the allele what form can be seen in the phenotype?
When one allele for a particular trait masks or overrides another allele for a trait, it is called dominance. The allele that is masked is called the recessive allele. The allele that is dominant will determine the phenotype.
When allele of a gene masks the presence of the other allele what form can be seen in the phenotype?
When one allele for a particular trait masks or overrides another allele for a trait, it is called dominance. The allele that is masked is called the recessive allele. The allele that is dominant will determine the phenotype.
