What type of alleles mask recessive alleles?
Dominant alleles :-)
How are dominant and recessive alleles are represented in a punnet square?
Dominant alleles are shown by a capital letter and recessive alleles are lowercase letters.
Why are some genes alleles dominant and recessive?
Genes have dominant and recessive alleles because of the way they interact with each other. Dominant alleles are expressed over recessive alleles because they carry instructions that override the instructions of the recessive allele. This dominance is determined by the specific genetic makeup and interactions within an organism.
When two recessive alleles are inherited the trait is observed?
When two recessive alleles are inherited, the trait associated with those alleles is observed because there is no dominant allele to mask its expression. This results in the individual displaying the recessive trait.
Is it true that recessive alleles are never present when dominant alleles are present?
No, recessive alleles can still be present in an individual's genetic makeup even when dominant alleles are present. In this case, the recessive allele may not be expressed phenotypically, but can still be passed on to offspring.
What combinations of alleles could produce a trait controlled by a recessive alleles?
recessive + recessive or tt
What is the result of two recessive alleles joined?
When two recessive alleles are joined together in an individual, the individual will display the recessive trait associated with those alleles. This is because recessive alleles only express themselves when a dominant allele is not present.
What type of alleles mask recessive alleles?
Dominant alleles :-)
What can be dominant or recessive?
Alleles can be dominant or recessive
How are Dominant and recessive alleles are represented in Punnet Square?
Dominant alleles are shown by a capital letter and recessive alleles are lowercase letters.
How are dominant and recessive alleles are represented in a punnet square?
Dominant alleles are shown by a capital letter and recessive alleles are lowercase letters.
What are the two terms for having matching alleles for a certain trait?
The two terms for having matching alleles for a certain trait are "homozygous dominant" (two dominant alleles) and "homozygous recessive" (two recessive alleles).
What is gene pair consists of two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles?
A gene pair that consists of 2 dominant or 2 recessive alleles is considered homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive.
What is used to describe when a genotype is either both recessive or dominant?
The term used to describe when a genotype consists of either two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles is "homozygous." When an organism has two identical alleles for a trait, it is homozygous dominant (for two dominant alleles) or homozygous recessive (for two recessive alleles). In contrast, if the alleles are different, the organism is referred to as "heterozygous."
How dominant and recessive alleles are represented in a Punnett Square?
Dominant alleles are written in upper case (i.e, 'A'), while recessive alleles are lower case (i.e, 'a')
What makes a dominant alleles different from a recessive alleles?
A dominant alle masks the expression of the recessive trait in a heterozygous genotype, a recessive allele is the phenotpye expressed is the recessive trait.
How is recessive alleles different from dominant alleles?
You need two recessive alleles to get their trait, but only one dominant allele to get that trait. A dominant allele basically overrides a recessive one if they are together, but the recessive gene can show up in offspring.
