A genetic factor that blocks the expression of another genetic factor is called a "dominant" allele. In genetics, when one allele is dominant over another, it masks the effect of the recessive allele, preventing it from being expressed in the phenotype. This interaction is a fundamental principle of Mendelian inheritance.

What is a genetic factor that blocks another genetic factor?
A genetic factor that blocks another genetic factor is known as an "epistatic" gene. In this interaction, one gene (the epistatic gene) can suppress or mask the expression of another gene (the hypostatic gene), leading to variations in phenotypic traits. This phenomenon is essential in understanding complex traits and inheritance patterns, as it illustrates how multiple genes can interact to influence observable characteristics. For example, in some plant species, the presence of a dominant epistatic allele can prevent the expression of another allele responsible for flower color.
Which factor would most likely disrupt genetic equilibrium in a large population?
Genetic Drift
When is genetic drift a major factor evolution?
When there is low gene flow
What is the bacterial cell called when the f factor is in plasmid form?
When the F factor is in plasmid form within a bacterial cell, the cell is referred to as an F-positive or F+ cell. This means the cell carries the plasmid containing the F factor, which enables the cell to transfer genetic material during conjugation.
How did Griffith help build our understanding of genetic?
He showed that cells contain a transforming factor.
A genetic factor that covers up another genetic factor is called?
A dominant trait is a genetic factor that blocks another genetic factor. A recessive trait is a genetic factor that is blocked by the presence of a dominant fact

What is the term applied when one gene interferes with the expression of another?
Transcriptional Activator or Transcriptional Repressor. They bind to the promoter region thereby blocking the gene product Regulator
What is the factor called when a rock is split into eight smaller blocks and its surface area increases?
cheese
What conversion factor can be used to convert the number of blocks to the weight of the blocks in pounds?
Are used to balance scale to find the conversion factor that can be used to convert the number of blocks to the weight of the blocks in pounds
What is a dominant and ressesive?
In genetics, a dominant trait is one that is expressed when only one copy of the gene is present, masking the recessive trait. A recessive trait is only expressed when two copies of the gene are present.
What is genetic a factor?
two genetic materials
When is a number called a factor number?
A number is called a factor when it can divide evenly into another number with no remainder. Integers only.
When is a number called a factor?
When it divides evenly into another number.
Any number multiplied by another number is called?
the answer is factor
What is the x factor hati song called?
The X Factor didn't do a song for Haiti, however they did do another charity song called "You Are Not Alone"
Is a number that divides another number with a remainder of 2 called a factor?
Yes, though that is not the definition of a factor. It is an example of a factor, however.
