I don't really know the answer to that question. Maybe you should ask someone smarter... Like a doctor. Because the internet thinks it knows everything but i have been looking for thirty minutes trying to find an answer to this... "When a pair of chromosomes contains different alleles for a trait, that trait is called a(n) _____?" and i just cannot find the answer... but! if anyone knows the answer to this tell me and i will go back to trusting the internet!

Thank you,

An observable characteristic that is expressed as a result of an allele pair is called a trait. Traits can be physical features (such as eye color or height) or functional characteristics (such as blood type or enzyme production) that are influenced by the interaction of alleles in the individual's genotype.

What is the relationship between pair of alleles in genetic inheritance?

In genetic inheritance, a pair of alleles refers to the two forms of a gene that an individual inherits from their parents. These alleles can be either the same (homozygous) or different (heterozygous). The relationship between a pair of alleles determines how they interact to determine the traits or characteristics of an individual. This interaction is known as Mendelian genetics, where dominant alleles mask the effects of recessive alleles.
