A non-example of an allele would be a chromosome. While alleles are specific versions of a gene that determine particular traits, chromosomes are long strands of DNA that contain many genes, including multiple alleles. For instance, the gene for flower color in a plant can have different alleles (like purple or white), but the entire chromosome that carries these genes is not an allele itself.

Solid color in cats. Two brown tabby cats might produce a solid black kitten, if they both carry the recessive allele for solid color (which is called "non-agouti").


What is am example of a dominant allele?

A dominant allele is the allele which expresses itself morphologically.for example;the dimple on your cheek.your mom has a dimple whereas your father doesn't have it .but you too possess it.then ,your mother's allele serves to be the dominant allele.


How does an allele trait in an organism?

An allele causes a trait by either being dominant orrecessive or example, allele A will occur over allele a because it is dominant.


What is an example of allele frequency?

An example of allele frequency is when in a population of 100 individuals, 60 individuals have the dominant allele (A) for a specific gene, while 40 individuals have the recessive allele (a). The frequency of the dominant allele (A) would be 0.6, and the frequency of the recessive allele (a) would be 0.4.


Which term describes the example below- A child with no freckles has a mother who has freckles and is heterozygous and a father who has no freckles and is homozygous recessive?

We'llsay F is dominant for freckles and f is recessive for non-freckled. The father is ff The mother is Ff The child is ff. Probability of this cross producing a homozygous recessive child is 50%. There isn't a precise term for this cross.

How do you use Allele Frequency in a sentence for biology?

Allele frequency refers to the proportion of a specific allele in a population's gene pool. For example, in a population of birds, the allele frequency for the gene that determines feather color might be 0.7 for the brown allele and 0.3 for the white allele.


What is allele masked by the dominant allele?

An allele that is masked by the dominant allele is called a recessive allele. When an individual has one dominant allele and one recessive allele, only the trait determined by the dominant allele will be expressed. The recessive allele will only be expressed if an individual has two copies of it (homozygous recessive).


Allele that is always expressed if present?

An allele that is always expressed when it is present is the 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".
