A gene that can be masked by another gene is called?
A gene that can be masked by another gene is referred to as a recessive gene. This means that the trait associated with the recessive gene is expressed only when two copies of the gene are present.
When both parents contribute to the gene pair are recessive the pair is referred to as the?
The gene pair is referred to as homozygous recessive. This means that both copies of the gene are recessive, resulting in the expression of the recessive trait.
Allele that is fully expressed is referred to as?
No, it is referred to as dominant
Are earlobes a recessive gene?
Yes, the inheritance of free-hanging earlobes (referred to as the "unattached" phenotype) is often thought to follow a simple recessive pattern, with the unattached earlobes trait being recessive to attached earlobes. This means that to have free-hanging earlobes, an individual would need to inherit two copies of the recessive allele.
What is the term for an allele that is not expressed in the phenotype of a heterozygous individual?
incomplete dominance source: PH Bio textbook
What is the combination of the dominant and recessive genes present in the cells of an organism?
The combination of dominant and recessive genes present in the cells of an organism is referred to as its genotype. The genotype determines the organism's potential traits, with dominant alleles masking the expression of recessive alleles in heterozygous pairings. For example, in a genotype consisting of one dominant allele and one recessive allele (e.g., Aa), the dominant trait will be expressed. In contrast, a homozygous recessive genotype (aa) will express the recessive trait.
What the 2 alleles are that control a specific characteristic?
The two alleles that control a specific characteristic are typically referred to as the dominant allele and the recessive allele. The dominant allele is expressed in the phenotype when present with a recessive allele, while the recessive allele is only expressed when two copies are present.
Are people meat or beef?
People are not typically referred to as meat or beef. While we are corporeal beings composed of biological matter, the terms "meat" and "beef" are more commonly associated with animal flesh, particularly that of cows.
What is used to describe when a genotype is either both recessive or dominant?
The term used to describe when a genotype consists of either two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles is "homozygous." When an organism has two identical alleles for a trait, it is homozygous dominant (for two dominant alleles) or homozygous recessive (for two recessive alleles). In contrast, if the alleles are different, the organism is referred to as "heterozygous."
The uncertainty associated with decision making is referred to as?
Risk
What is an individual who has a recessive disease causing allele at a particular gene on one chromosome and a normal allele at that gene on the other chromosome?
An individual with a recessive disease-causing allele on one chromosome and a normal allele on the other chromosome is referred to as a heterozygote for that gene. Since the disease is recessive, the normal allele typically masks the effects of the recessive allele, meaning the individual usually does not exhibit symptoms of the disease. However, they can still pass the recessive allele to their offspring.
What is a trait that is not expressed when an organism receives genes for 2 different forms of a trait?
A trait that is not expressed when another is present is referred to as a recessive trait.
