What else can I help you with?
Alleles passed from parent to child on a sex chromosome is called what?
These alleles are called sex-linked alleles or traits.
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.
When the alleles of a gene pair are expressed differently but neither is dominant to the other?
Codominance means that neither allele can mask the expression of the other allele. An example in humans would be the ABO blood group, where alleles A and alleles B are both expressed.
Alternative versions of genes are called?
alternative forms of a gene are called as alleles..
Which allele is expressed even if only one copy is present in genotype?
dominant alleles
What statement describes a gene pool?
All of the alleles in one populationAll of the alleles in one population
What describes an organism that has two alleles for a trait?
Heterozygous
What term describes a pair of alleles that are the same?
Alleles that are the same = homozygous Alleles that are different = heterozygous
What term describes a plant with 2 recessive alleles?
The answer is heterozygous.
Describes an organism that has two different alleles for a trait?
Heterozygous
What is the relationship between pair of alleles in genetic inheritance?
In genetic inheritance, a pair of alleles refers to the two forms of a gene that an individual inherits from their parents. These alleles can be either the same (homozygous) or different (heterozygous). The relationship between a pair of alleles determines how they interact to determine the traits or characteristics of an individual. This interaction is known as Mendelian genetics, where dominant alleles mask the effects of recessive alleles.
This describes the organism or trait that has two different alleles for the same trait?
Heterozygous
Can you give a sentence using the word allele?
I like alleles.
What did Walter sutton discover about the relationship between alleles and chromosomes?
Heredity
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.
Organisms that have identical alleles for a particular trait are called?
There is no particular relationship between organisms that have identical alleles for a particular trait.
What best describes the law of independence?
When sex cells form, alleles of a trait separate independently.sex
