No, a dominant allele will not always increase in frequency over time. The frequency of an allele in a population can be influenced by various factors such as natural selection, genetic drift, and gene flow.

Allele that is always expressed if present?

An allele that is always expressed when it is present is the dominant 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.


If and individual has one dominant allele and one recessive allele will the recessive allele show up?

No, the dominant allele will be expressed in the individual's phenotype, masking the presence of the recessive allele. The recessive allele will only be expressed if an individual inherits two copies of the recessive allele.


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.


Why is a dominant allele called dominant apex?

because it dominates the phenotype


What is an Dominant allele?

A dominant allele is a gene that holds a certain characteristic that is superior to a recessive allele. The dominant allele ALWAYS has its trait shown in the body of the recipient, except when both alleles in a gene are recessive.


What is a dominent allele?

A dominant allele is an allele that can take over a recessive allele, so if you have a dominant allele and a recessive allele, then the offspring will most likely have a dominant allele over a recessive allele. The dominant allele is expressed over the recessive allele.


What does a dominant allele always do?

A dominant allele expresses its trait in an individual when present, masking the effect of a recessive allele. This means that if an individual has at least one copy of a dominant allele, the associated trait will be displayed.

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.


What is the difference between dominant alleles and recessive alleles?
