What else can I help you with?
An allele is dominant in a heterozygote when it is?
expressed in the phenotype even when paired with a different allele.
What is an allele that always shows up in an organism's phenotype called - an allele that masks the other allele?
An allele that always shows up in an organism's phenotype and masks the expression of another allele is called dominant. Dominant alleles are always expressed, even when paired with a recessive allele.
Genes that are only seen when paired with a recessive gene?
if u have a recessive gene with a recessive gene then u can see the recessive gene but if you have a dominant gene with a recessive gene you can only see the dominant gene hope that helps:)
What is a reccesive gene?
A recessive gene is a gene that is only expressed if an individual has two copies of it, one inherited from each parent. In the presence of another dominant gene, the recessive gene's trait is not expressed.
What gene won't display its trait in the prescience of a dominate trait?
A recessive gene will not display its trait in the presence of a dominant trait. A recessive gene only expresses its trait when paired with another copy of the same recessive gene.
An allele is dominant in a heterozygote when it is?
expressed in the phenotype even when paired with a different allele.
A trait that is not expressed when paired with a dominant allele is?
recessive (sraight out of my biology lesson!)
What is the allele that will always show physically?
The dominant allele will always show physically in an individual, while the recessive allele will only be expressed if paired with another recessive allele.
Does a recessive allele need another recessive allele to be expressed?
Yes, a recessive allele needs to be paired with another recessive allele in order to be expressed. This is because recessive alleles are only expressed when an individual has two copies of the recessive allele, one from each parent. If an individual has one dominant allele and one recessive allele for a particular trait, the dominant allele will be expressed.
What is an allele that always shows up in an organism's phenotype called - an allele that masks the other allele?
An allele that always shows up in an organism's phenotype and masks the expression of another allele is called dominant. Dominant alleles are always expressed, even when paired with a recessive allele.
A gene that is not expressed when paired with a dominant allele is called?
A recessive gene. These genes are masked by dominant genes when they are present together in an individual's genetic makeup.
What gene is masked if it is paired with a dominant gene?
The different forms of a gene are called alleles. In Mendelian genetics, a gene has a dominant allele and a recessive allele. The dominant allele masks the recessive allele if present. So there are two possible dominant genotypes: homozygous dominant, in which both dominant alleles are present; and heterozygous, in which one allele is dominant and the other allele is recessive. The only way to express a recessive trait is to have the homozygous recessive genotype.
Genes that are only seen when paired with a recessive gene?
if u have a recessive gene with a recessive gene then u can see the recessive gene but if you have a dominant gene with a recessive gene you can only see the dominant gene hope that helps:)
What is a reccesive gene?
A recessive gene is a gene that is only expressed if an individual has two copies of it, one inherited from each parent. In the presence of another dominant gene, the recessive gene's trait is not expressed.
What do dominant and recessive alleles have in common?
Alleles are different types of a gene. Each gene controls a characteristic and they is usually a recessive allele and a dominant one. The main similarity is that they both control a certain characteristic!
Is homologous dominant?
In genetics, alleles can be classified as either dominant or recessive. The term "homologous" refers to the pairing of chromosomes in meiosis. Whether an allele is dominant or recessive depends on its effect on the phenotype when paired with another allele. Homologous chromosomes do not determine the dominance of an allele.
What gene won't display its trait in the prescience of a dominate trait?
A recessive gene will not display its trait in the presence of a dominant trait. A recessive gene only expresses its trait when paired with another copy of the same recessive gene.
