Gene expression is the process by which information from a gene is used in the synthesis of a functional gene product.

Is an inheritance pattern in which neither allele for a trait dominates the other?

Incomplete Dominance


Why do we call some alleles dominant?

because it dominates the phenotype


Why is a dominant allele called dominant apex?

because it dominates the phenotype


What do geneticists call a trait that hides other traits?

Geneticists call a trait that hides other traits a "recessive trait." When an individual has one dominant and one recessive allele for a specific trait, the dominant allele will be expressed, masking the effects of the recessive allele.


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.


The principle of dominance states?

That one gene expresses most or all of a trait over another variation of that gene ( recessive allele ) and in heterozygous condition, Aa. This does not mean the gene " dominates " as dwarfism is a dominant trait that is not greatly represented in the human populations gene pool


If an allele for a particular trait is NOT expressed at all when another allele for the trait is present the allele is .?

The allele not expressed would be recessive whilst the other is dominant. This would be the case in a heterozygous genotype. Hope this helps

What does a dominant allele always do?

A dominant allele expresses its trait in an individual when present, masking the effect of a recessive allele. This means that if an individual has at least one copy of a dominant allele, the associated trait will be displayed.

The allele not expressed would be recessive whilst the other is dominant. This would be the case in a heterozygous genotype. Hope this helps


Why are two recessive alleles needed for a recesssive trait to be shown?

bcoz in case of one dominant and one recessive, dominant allele will express its characters and suppresses the recessive ones. so for the expression of recessive characters both allele should be recessive.
