A dominant allele will express itself if present, and will suppress the recessive allele's expression.

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.


When the expression of one allele is masked by the presence of another is said to be?

Recessive


What gene pair is made up of one dominant allele and one ressecive allele?

A heterozygous condition resulting in the dominant genes expression in the phenotype.


Is when one allele completely masks another?

This is called complete dominance, where one allele completely masks the expression of another allele in a heterozygous individual. The dominant allele is expressed phenotypically, while the recessive allele remains hidden.


What does the principle of dominance state?

Basically, it states there are two forms of a gene called alleles, heterozygous in this case, and one allele masks the expression of the other allele. This is simplified, as it can get complex with co-dominance and partial dominance.


What is a domainit trait?

A dominant trait is a genetic trait that is expressed when an individual has one copy of the dominant allele. In a pair of alleles (one from each parent), the dominant allele will mask the expression of the recessive allele.


When does one allele alter another allele?

One allele can alter another allele through a process called epistasis, where the expression of one gene masks or modifies the expression of another gene at a different locus. This interaction can affect phenotypic traits, leading to variations in how traits are expressed. Additionally, certain alleles may exhibit dominance or recessiveness, where the dominant allele's effects overshadow those of the recessive allele. Overall, the interplay between alleles can significantly influence an organism's characteristics.


What is simple dominance?

Simple dominance is a concept in genetics where one allele (gene variant) masks the expression of another allele at the same locus. This results in the dominant allele being expressed phenotypically, while the recessive allele is not expressed. This type of inheritance pattern is common in traits like eye color or hair texture.
