A gene whose phenotypic expression is masked by the presence of another is generally called the recessive gene. However, it can still be passed onto offspring.

A child is born with type ab blood. which of these statements is true?

The child must have inherited at least one A allele and one B allele from their parents. The child could have inherited an A allele from one parent and a B allele from the other parent, or may have inherited an AB genotype from one parent.


Can two alleles from different genes be inherited together?

These genes are inherited together, the alleles are not. And keep in mind that both the mother and father contribute to the child, so their allelic pairing may change the intended expression of the gene.


What are organisms that inherit in pairs from each other?

Organisms that inherit genetic material in pairs from each parent are called diploid organisms. In diploid organisms, each cell contains two sets of chromosomes, one set inherited from each parent. This ensures genetic diversity and allows for the expression of different traits.


What is the relationship between non-allelic genes in terms of inheritance and genetic expression?

Non-allelic genes are located on different chromosomes and do not influence each other's inheritance or genetic expression. They are inherited independently and their expression is not linked.


What is expressed when neither copy of an allele completely masks expression of the other but instead a blending of alleles is seen.?

When neither copy of an allele is completely expressed or completely masked, it is called Incomplete Dominance. When incomplete dominance is present, then the offspring will have a blend of both parental phenotypes but will always be a slight bit slower to one parent than the other.

What are the reason for reading for comprehension?

It may be just inherited from a parent or parents. There are other possibilities too.

incomplete dominance


What is expressed when niether copy of allele completely masks expression of the other but instead a blending of alleles is seen?

dominance :) i think its dominance.

When the trait has more two alleles how is the trait inherited?

One parent has a recessive trait. For example: One parent has blood type AB, the other has blood type OO.


Is AB blood type co-dominate alleles?

yes, that is exactly what AB blood is and that is how blood type is inherited. Nice work
