When a alleles creates a visible trait you call it what?

When an allele creates a visible trait, it is called a dominant allele. Dominant alleles mask the expression of recessive alleles when present in a heterozygous individual.


What do you call a condition in which neither two alleles of a gene is dominant or recessive?

Codominace


Are dominant alleles naturally better for an organism?

No, recessive alleles are equally likely to be inherited (if your dealing with only those two types of alleles). BUT, dominant alleles are the ones that show up. That is precisely why they are called dominant. Compared to recessive alleles, dominant ones will overrule the others, making it the one inherited.


Are organisms with alleles BB recessive or dominant?

Organisms with alleles BB are considered homozygous dominant. This means that the dominant allele (B) is expressed in the phenotype. Dominant alleles mask the effects of recessive alleles in heterozygous individuals.


Circle the letter of each sentence that is true about alleles. a. Recessive alleles are never present when dominant alleles are present. b. Alleles are different forms of a gene. . c. Dominant alleles?

The true statements about alleles are: b. Alleles are different forms of a gene. Recessive alleles can be present alongside dominant alleles; they are simply masked by the dominant ones. The statement about dominant alleles is incomplete, so it cannot be evaluated as true or false.


What is the phenotype of a female with two dominant alleles?

The phenotype of a female with two dominant alleles will express the traits associated with those dominant alleles. For example, if the dominant alleles are for a specific trait like flower color, she will display that dominant trait. Since dominant alleles mask the effects of recessive alleles, there will be no expression of any recessive traits associated with those genes. Overall, her phenotype will reflect the characteristics determined by the dominant alleles.


How are co dominant alleles expressed?

co dominant alleles are expressed as IA


In what alleles can be observed in the phenotype?

you mean phenotype, and its dominant alleles


What type of alleles mask recessive alleles?

Dominant alleles :-)


When a plant inherits two dominant alleles it looks like what?

wha- dominant? alleles?


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.


What type of alleles are present in an organism?

Capital letters usually denote dominant alleles. Therefore QQ genotype would contain two dominant alleles for the Q genotype.
