The two alleles for height in pea plants come from the parents of the pea plant. Each parent contributes one allele, which determines the height of the offspring.


Why phenotypes don't always express its entire genotype?

Phenotypes are the entirety of the observable traits. Genotypes are the instructions in the genetic code. Dominant alleles override the recessive alleles, making only the dominant alleles expressed.


Are alleles of a gene always the same as each other?
