Dominent. Simple- you have two types of Alleles, Dominent and Reccessive. Imagine a punnet square for the allele that causes albinoism (A).

One parent has Aa, or one dominent allele and one reccessive allele for the trait. If the dominent skin-tone gene wasn't there (A), then it would be AA and he would be an albino. But since he has a dominent allele, he has normal color.

If he made a baby with another Aa combination, they would have 25% chance of having an AA baby with no reccessive allele, a 50% chance of having an identical Aa combination, and a 25% chance of having an albino baby, AA.

When one allele shows dominance over another allele?

In cases of complete dominance, one allele, known as the dominant allele, masks the expression of the other allele, known as the recessive allele, in the heterozygous state. This results in only the dominant allele being expressed in the phenotype.

Does a dominant allele mask a ressessive allele?

In diploid organisms (those with two copies of each gene carried on separate chromosomes), one of the copies of a given gene may differ from the other copy of the same gene on the twin chromosome. In some cases one version of the gene (the dominant allele) has the effect of 'masking' the activity of the other (the recessive allele); that is, the presence of the dominant allele negates the effect of the recessive allele on the organism's phenotype. There are many mechanisms which can cause this phenomena, and it depends on the particular genes involved, but a simple model is one where the recessive allele is a biochemically inactive version of the dominant allele. In this case the dominant allele would mask the effect of the recessive allele by providing an active version of the gene. The dominant phenotype would be the one which shows the downstream effects of this activity, and the recessive phenotype one which shows the downstream effects of a lack of activity. The dominant allele is said to 'mask' the recessive allele because only one copy is required to result in an elimination of the recessive phenotype, whereas all copies of the gene must be the recessive allele to result in the recessive phenotype.


When allele frequency changes, a population is said to no longer be in what state?

When allele frequency changes, a population is said to no longer be in genetic equilibrium.


A population in which allele frequencies do not change from generation to generation is said to be in?

A population in which the allele frequencies do not change from one generation to the next is said to be in equilibrium.


What happens when a ressive allele meetsup with a dominate allele?

The genotype is said to be heterozygous and the dominant trait will be expressed in the individual.

Is it safe to figure skate in an elaborate mask?

Depending on the mask wearers aptitude for figure skating and the visibility provided by said elaborate mask I would say its no safer than the act of figure skating with the absence of said elaborate mask.


When a gene expresses itself in the presence of a contrasting gene it is said to be?

When a gene expresses itself in the presence of a contrasting gene, it is said to be dominant. Dominant alleles mask the effects of recessive alleles, leading to the phenotype associated with the dominant gene being observed in the organism. This concept is fundamental to Mendelian genetics, where the interaction between alleles determines observable traits.


When the effect of one factor depends on the presence of another factor outcomes are said to reflect?

When the effect of one factor depends on the presence of another factor, outcomes are said to reflect an interaction effect. This means that the relationship between the two factors is not additive; instead, the impact of one factor changes depending on the level of the other factor.


How are two traits that have Dominant and Recessive alleles inherited?

The trait received is recessive.
