What is a person who has one recessive allele for a trait and one dominant allele for the same trait and is able to pass in the trait on to their offspring?
That is heterozygous. Some scientist call these "hybrids"(no joke)The person is heterozygous for that trait and will have the dominant phenotype.An organism with both a dominant and recessive allele for a specific trait is called an heterozygote. They are heterozygous for this trait.
Which sentence correctly describes the relationship between genes and alleles?
She inherited brown eyes, a dominant allele in both her parents.
What are the different forms of a gene that decide a characteristic known as?
Each allele has two forms which are known as alleles. Alleles play an important role as to which characteristics either from mother or father will be passed along to the next generation. The way in which alleles are expressed is the study of genetics.
How does a recessive trait show up as a visible trait?
Recessive alleles are only expressed in the phenotype if the organism is homozygous for the recessive allele (assuming diploidy). If the trait is sex-linked, then it will always show up in males if passed.
What is the continuous random movement of tiny particles in a liquid or gas called?
Brownian motion, named after botanist Robert Brown. The motion is also known as pedesis which translates from Greek as 'leaping'.
What is it called when there's a change in the gene?
The change of genetic information within an organism is known as a genetic mutation. It may also be refereed to as a change in allele frequencies when populations are examined.
What type of allele is known for skipping a generation?
The type of allele known for skipping a generation is the recessive allele because it is almost always hidden.
Alternative versions of a gene?
One or more forms of a gene that codes for a specific trait is also known as an allele
When was On Little Known Frequencies created?
On Little Known Frequencies was created on 2009-03-10.
How do you find a mutant allele?
Compare the allele in question to known mutant alleles. If similar, it si probably a mutant as well.
What is the Random change in a populations allele frequency is known?
Random change in allele frequency is called genetic drift.
When each allele has it own degree of influence it is known as?
incomplete dominance
When each allele has its own degree of influence it is known?
incomplete dominance
What frequencies do radar detectors use?
Radar detectors don't "use" any frequencies. However they listen to certain frequencies known as bands(K, Ka, X, Ku). These bands are the frequencies allocated to radar guns to operate on.
Why do we call some alleles dominant?
because it dominates the phenotype
A person can be tested for the allele that causes huntingtons disease because of that allele is different from that of a normal allele?
Because Huntington's is a genetic disorder and it is known what sequence in what region causes the disorder.
What is it called having a dominate and recessive allele?
If an individual has one recessive allele and one dominant allele, they are known as heterozygous. The dominant trait will be expressed.
