When on e allele of a gene masks the presence of the other allele what form is masked?
The recessive allele.
Does a recessive allele need another recessive allele to be expressed?
Yes, a recessive allele needs to be paired with another recessive allele in order to be expressed. This is because recessive alleles are only expressed when an individual has two copies of the recessive allele, one from each parent. If an individual has one dominant allele and one recessive allele for a particular trait, the dominant allele will be expressed.
What is the allele that will always show physically?
The dominant allele will always show physically in an individual, while the recessive allele will only be expressed if paired with another recessive allele.
An allele that is dominated or cover up by another allele is called what?
An allele that is dominated or covered up by another allele is called a recessive allele. This means that the trait associated with the recessive allele is only expressed when an individual carries two copies of that allele.
Does recessive allele is expressed if there is no dominant allele present?
Yes, a recessive allele will be expressed if there is no dominant allele present in the genotype. This is because in the absence of a dominant allele, the recessive allele has the opportunity to be expressed in the phenotype.
When on e allele of a gene masks the presence of the other allele what form is masked?
The recessive allele.
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.
Does a recessive allele need another recessive allele to be expressed?
Yes, a recessive allele needs to be paired with another recessive allele in order to be expressed. This is because recessive alleles are only expressed when an individual has two copies of the recessive allele, one from each parent. If an individual has one dominant allele and one recessive allele for a particular trait, the dominant allele will be expressed.
What is The general term for an allele that masks the presence of another allele in the phenotype?
The general term for an allele that masks the presence of another allele in the phenotype is "dominant." Dominant alleles are expressed phenotypically when present, masking the effects of recessive alleles.
What is the allele that will always show physically?
The dominant allele will always show physically in an individual, while the recessive allele will only be expressed if paired with another recessive allele.
What is an allele that always shows up in an organism's phenotype called - an allele that masks the other allele?
An allele that always shows up in an organism's phenotype and masks the expression of another allele is called dominant. Dominant alleles are always expressed, even when paired with a recessive allele.
An allele that is dominated or cover up by another allele is called what?
An allele that is dominated or covered up by another allele is called a recessive allele. This means that the trait associated with the recessive allele is only expressed when an individual carries two copies of that allele.
When an allele mask the presence of another allele it is said to be?
Dominent. Simple- you have two types of Alleles, Dominent and Reccessive. Imagine a punnet square for the allele that causes albinoism (A). One parent has Aa, or one dominent allele and one reccessive allele for the trait. If the dominent skin-tone gene wasn't there (A), then it would be AA and he would be an albino. But since he has a dominent allele, he has normal color. If he made a baby with another Aa combination, they would have 25% chance of having an AA baby with no reccessive allele, a 50% chance of having an identical Aa combination, and a 25% chance of having an albino baby, AA.
Allele that prevents the expression of a recessive allele?
A dominant allele
What is the general term for an allele that masked in the phenotype by the present of another allele?
Recessive. It is denoted by the lower case version of the first letter of the Dominant gene. For example, if the dominant is "A" then the allele is "a".
What is the nature of a relationship in which one allele is completely dominant over another in genetic inheritance?
In a relationship where one allele is completely dominant over another in genetic inheritance, the dominant allele will always be expressed in the phenotype, while the recessive allele will only be expressed if both alleles are recessive. This is known as complete dominance.
What is the name given to an allele that masks another?
A dominant one
