What is hidden in the heterozygote?
In a heterozygote, there are two different alleles for a specific gene. One allele is dominant and will be expressed, while the other allele, called the recessive allele, is not expressed but is still present in the genetic makeup of the individual. The recessive allele is "hidden" in the heterozygote because its presence does not affect the outward appearance or expression of the dominant allele.
An allele that is dominated or cover up by another allele is called what?
An allele that is dominated or covered up by another allele is called a recessive allele. This means that the trait associated with the recessive allele is only expressed when an individual carries two copies of that allele.
Genes that are not expressed if a dominant gene is present are called?
Recessive genes. These genes are only observed when an individual inherits two copies of the recessive allele.
When one allele shows dominance over another allele?
In cases of complete dominance, one allele, known as the dominant allele, masks the expression of the other allele, known as the recessive allele, in the heterozygous state. This results in only the dominant allele being expressed in the phenotype.
Why is a dominant allele called dominanat?
A dominant allele is called dominant because it expresses its trait even when only one copy is present in an individual's genotype. This means that if an individual has one dominant allele and one recessive allele for a particular gene, the dominant trait will be observed in the phenotype. This characteristic allows dominant alleles to mask the effects of recessive alleles, leading to the trait associated with the dominant allele being the one that is visibly expressed.
What is a dominant allele called dominant'?
A dominant allele is called dominant because its effects will be expressed in the phenotype when present in the genotype, regardless of whether the individual has one or two copies of the allele.
What is the form of a gene that is hidden or masked when any other form of that same gene is present?
The hidden or masked form of a gene is called recessive. Recessive genes are only expressed when an individual carries two copies of the recessive allele. When a dominant allele is present, it will be expressed instead of the recessive allele.
Describes the allele that is fully expressed when carried by only one of a pair of homologous chromosomes?
The allele that is fully expressed when carried by only one of a pair of homologous chromosomes is called a dominant allele. Dominant alleles mask the expression of recessive alleles when present in the genotype.
What is hidden in the heterozygote?
In a heterozygote, there are two different alleles for a specific gene. One allele is dominant and will be expressed, while the other allele, called the recessive allele, is not expressed but is still present in the genetic makeup of the individual. The recessive allele is "hidden" in the heterozygote because its presence does not affect the outward appearance or expression of the dominant allele.
An allele that is dominated or cover up by another allele is called what?
An allele that is dominated or covered up by another allele is called a recessive allele. This means that the trait associated with the recessive allele is only expressed when an individual carries two copies of that allele.
What allele is covered up by the dominant allele?
An allele that's masked by a dominant gene is called a "Recessive"recessiverecessive traitThe recessive allele. Often depicted as the "small r" in examples: Rr, R=dominant, r= recessive.
What is allele masked by the dominant allele?
An allele that is masked by the dominant allele is called a recessive allele. When an individual has one dominant allele and one recessive allele, only the trait determined by the dominant allele will be expressed. The recessive allele will only be expressed if an individual has two copies of it (homozygous recessive).
What is the difference between dominant and recessive alleles for specific traits?
Dominant is an allele that will always be expressed in a heterozygous individual. Recessive on other hand are traits that will only be expressed in a homozygous condition. Organisms receive one allele for each trait from each parent, thus you have two alleles for each trait.
An allele that is hidden by other alleles is called?
i think the answer your lokking for is recessive Recessive is when you have a trait in your genome but it doesn't show in your physical appearance
A gene that is not expressed when paired with a dominant allele is called?
A recessive gene. These genes are masked by dominant genes when they are present together in an individual's genetic makeup.
What is The general term for an allele that masks the presence of another allele in the phenotype?
The general term for an allele that masks the presence of another allele in the phenotype is "dominant." Dominant alleles are expressed phenotypically when present, masking the effects of recessive alleles.
Why do we call some alleles dominant?
because it dominates the phenotype
