An allele is a variation or a type of gene
No
If a gene has only one allele, it can produce only one trait, as there are no alternative forms of the gene to create variation. This means that all individuals with that allele will express the same trait associated with it. However, the expression of that trait can still be influenced by other genetic factors and environmental conditions.
homozygous recessive
The IB allele is considered dominant to the i allele because it produces a functional enzyme that adds the B antigen to the surface of red blood cells, while the i allele does not produce any antigen. This means that when both alleles are present (IBi), the B antigen is expressed, resulting in the phenotype associated with the IB allele. In contrast, the presence of the i allele does not affect the expression of the B antigen, making IB phenotypically dominant.
According to the principle of segregation, a heterozygous individual (with one dominant allele and one recessive allele, such as Aa) will produce gametes that carry only one allele for each gene. In this case, the gametes will be either A or a, resulting from the separation of the alleles during meiosis. Therefore, half of the gametes will carry the dominant allele (A) and half will carry the recessive allele (a).

They will produce gametes that are also homozygous.

Yes. Remember that a heterozygote can produce two types of gametes. In this case, the unknown would produce gametes with the dominant allele A or the recessive allele a. The homozygous recessive would still only produce one kind gamete, with the recessive a allele. Therefore, we expect to see only two genotypes in the F1, Aa and aa, in equal proportions.
For a recessive allele to produce a recessive phenotype, the individual must have two copies, one from each parent. An individual with one dominant and one recessive allele for a gene will have the dominant phenotype.
An individual with the genotype Aa can produce two types of gametes: one carrying the A allele and one carrying the a allele. This individual will produce equal numbers of gametes with the A allele and gametes with the a allele due to Mendel's law of segregation.
No, it is not possible for an individual with the AS blood group to produce offspring with the AA blood group. The AS blood group indicates that the individual carries one A allele and one S allele (which is associated with sickle cell trait). For an offspring to have the AA blood group, both parents must provide an A allele, which cannot occur if one parent has an S allele.
