Definition of dominance in genetics?
On any given locus, there are different possible forms of a gene, called "alleles." There is a dominant allele for each gene, often expressed by a capital letter. Recessive genes are frequently denoted with a minuscule letter. For example, "R" would represent a dominant allele and "r" a recessive one. Every individual has two alleles each gene (for example, Rr, RR, or rr); in this pair, a dominant allele is expressed if it is present, regardless of what other allele is carried. Recessive alleles, conversely, will only be expressed if there are two of them -- rr, in this case. There may be more than two alleles in each set, but they all follow the rule of dominance. For example, ra might be dominant to rb, which might be dominant to r. In some cases, dominance is incomplete. This means that individuals heterozygous for a certain gene -- meaning both the alleles are different, i.e. Rr, as opposed to the same (homozygous) -- will express a different trait than those homozygous recessive (rr) or dominant (RR).

What is the genetic definition of evolution?
Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms.
How can you use evolution in a sentence?
By the definition. Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms.
That evolution ended?
Evolution, the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms, can not end by definition.
How does evolution affect all living organisms?
By it's definition. Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms. All living things evolve by this definition.
What is allele masked by the dominant allele?
The Allele That Is Covered By The Dominant Allele Is The Recessive Allele.
The smallest unit that can evolve is a?
Is a population. Consider the definition of evolution.Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms.
What is allel?
An allele is the different forms of a gene.
What is the alternate form of a gene?
The answer is allele
Generation-to-generation change in allele frequencies in a population is?
The term used to describe the generation-to-generation change in allele frequencies of a population is simply evolution. Simple answer for a complicated-looking question. ;) Hope this helps.
An allele that is dominated or cover up by another allele is called what?
It should be a dominant allele--a dominant allele's trait will be expressed over the recessive allele's trait.
