homozygous, heterozygous
An allele is a specific variant of a gene, which is a unit of hereditary information. Genes can have different alleles that produce variations in traits. Therefore, alleles exist within genes as different versions or forms of the same gene.
A hybrid allele is a combination of alleles from two different parents for a specific trait. It can have two different alleles that may interact in various ways to determine the trait expression.
If an organism has alleles Bb, it is considered heterozygous for that particular gene. This means it has two different alleles for that trait, one dominant (B) and one recessive (b). The dominant allele usually determines the organism's phenotype, while the recessive allele's effects may only be expressed if the organism is homozygous (bb).
A gene with one completely dominant allele and two recessive alleles can produce two different traits. The dominant allele will express its trait regardless of whether it is paired with another dominant or a recessive allele, while the two recessive alleles will express their trait only when paired together. Therefore, the possible combinations of alleles result in one dominant trait and one recessive trait.
Allele frequency, or gene frequency, is the proportion of a particular allele (variant of a gene) among all allele copies being considered. It can be formally defined as the percentage of all alleles at a given locus in a population gene pool represented by a particular allele.
different form of genes are called allele
It's in the word! Dominant means bigger or stronger or greater. So the dominant allele is the stronger gene that is going to show whereas the recessive allele is still in you, but is overshadowed by the dominant allele.
The different forms of a genes for a single trait are known as alleles there can be a dominate allele which always shows up when present and a recessive allele which only shows up when both alleles are recessive or there is no dominate allele
alleles
An allele is a specific variant of a gene, which is a unit of hereditary information. Genes can have different alleles that produce variations in traits. Therefore, alleles exist within genes as different versions or forms of the same gene.
Alternative versions of a gene are called alleles. Alleles are different forms of a gene that can result in distinct traits or characteristics. These variations in alleles contribute to genetic diversity within a population.
No, an allele is not considered a genotype in genetics. An allele is a specific form of a gene, while a genotype refers to the combination of alleles an individual has for a particular gene.
An organism with two different alleles for a trait is said to be heterozygous for that trait. This means that it has one dominant allele and one recessive allele. The dominant allele will usually determine the organism's phenotype for that trait.
A hybrid allele is a combination of alleles from two different parents for a specific trait. It can have two different alleles that may interact in various ways to determine the trait expression.
the alternative form of a gene is called an "allele."
A heterozygous genotype has two different alleles for a given gene, one inherited from each parent. For example, in the genotype Aa, the individual has one dominant allele (A) and one recessive allele (a) for that gene.
If an organism has alleles Bb, it is considered heterozygous for that particular gene. This means it has two different alleles for that trait, one dominant (B) and one recessive (b). The dominant allele usually determines the organism's phenotype, while the recessive allele's effects may only be expressed if the organism is homozygous (bb).
