Allele that is always expressed if present?
An allele that is always expressed when it is present is the dominant allele.
True or False In heterozygous individuals only the recessive allele is expressed?
In heterozygous individuals, only the dominant allele is expressed. The recessive allele is present, but not expressed
Is an allele that produces a trait in the heterozygous condition recessive?
No. A recessive allele will not be expressed phenotypically in the heterozygous state. A recessive allele can only be expressed phenotypically in the homozygous state.
Under what condition is a single recessive allele expressed in a male?
Recessive alleles are expressed if there is no dominant allele (of the same gene) present. This can be for two reasons, because the other allele is also recessive, or because there is no other allele (such as X-linked genes, which males only have one copy of).
What is an allele whose trait always shows up in the organism?
type 2 Diabetes
What is the difference between a gene allele Chromosome and trait?
Alleles are alternate versions of genes that code for certain phenotypes, or traits. The traits of an individual are a result of the interaction between their genotype (alleles) and the environment.
What allele is expressed in a heterozygote?
The allele not expressed is referred to as a recessiveallele.
What is e difference between a dominate and recessive allele?
The answer is that The difference is that dominant dominates, and recessive is dominated.
Does a recessive allele need another recessive allele to be expressed?
I think if an allele "want" to be expressed, then it has to have a dominant allele. They don't need another recessive allele.
What is the difference between dominant and recessive alleles for specific traits?
Dominant is an allele that will always be expressed in a heterozygous individual. Recessive on other hand are traits that will only be expressed in a homozygous condition. Organisms receive one allele for each trait from each parent, thus you have two alleles for each trait.
Allele that is always expressed if present?
An allele that is always expressed when it is present is the dominant allele.
What is an expressed allele in a heterozygote?
Dominant allele as opposed to recessive allele.
What is the difference between a variant and an allele?
None.
What is the term for an allele that is not expressed in the phenotype of a heterozygous individual?
incomplete dominance source: PH Bio textbook
Does recessive allele is expressed if there is no dominant allele present?
YES
What are the circumstances under which dominant alleles will be expressed?
A dominant allele will be expressed when an allele pair is homozygous or heterozygous dominant.
What in term of applied to the trait that is expressed irregardless of the second allele?
The term applied to the trait that is expressed in regardless of the second allele is dominant. In contrast, the term recessive refers to a trait that is expressed when the second allele is identical.
