What an allele?

An allele is an alternative form of a gene that is found at the same location on a chromosome.


What happens when 2 different allele s for the same trait are present?

if the two alleles are the same in the same box in the punnett square then that trait is expressed. when there is a double in a punnett square then that gene is always expressed


What is double heterozygote?

A double heterozygote is an organism that has two different alleles for two separate genes, one inherited from each parent. For example, if an organism has one allele for gene A and another allele for gene a, and simultaneously has one allele for gene B and another allele for gene b, it is considered a double heterozygote (AaBb). This genetic configuration can influence traits and phenotypes in various ways, depending on the dominance and interaction of the alleles involved.


When both allele of the gene are the same what is the individual?

homozygous


How many recessive alleles are needed to be expressed?

Depends on the characteristic. Assuming you're talking about a very simple monogenic characteristic (ie. a characteristic which is dependent on one gene only) your dominant allele will always trump your recessive allele. So, one copy of your dominant allele is all that's needed to give you that characteristic (final genotype is either homozygous dominant or heterozygous), whereas you'd need two copies of your recessive allele (homozygous recessive) to get that characteristic. Much beyond that and it gets verycomplicated.

How are the bases in one allele different from the bases in another allele?

The bases in one allele is different from bases in another allele because an allele is different forms of the same gene. This means that even though they have been programed for the same thing there is a variation

What term describes an individual with two copies of the same allele?

The individual with two of the same allele is "homozygous" for a trait.


What is a type of gene?

Do you mean allele? An allele is a different molecular form of the same gene.


If you double the dose of Alli I heard that this is that the same as prescription Meridia?

Doubling the dose would be equivalent to a dose of the medication Xenical, a diet medication. The dose of Xenical is 120 milligrams and you take it 3 times a day. The dose of Alli is 60 milligrams and you take it 3 times a day.

What if you double dose Wellbutrin 350mg?

Why would you double dose? 700mg would be a large dose! If you miss a dose take it as soon as you remember then take the next dose at the normal time. Unless you are already close to the next time you should take it. Then just wait. I would never double dose a medication. Talk to your doctor if it is not working for you.


What is caused by a dominant allele located on an autosome?

A dominant allele located on an autosome will be expressed phenotypically in the individual, meaning it will be visible in the physical characteristics of the organism. This dominant allele will mask the effects of any recessive allele at the same locus.
