What else can I help you with?
Is an allele a trait that determines a specific characteristic in an organism?
Yes, an allele is a variant form of a gene that determines a specific characteristic or trait in an organism.
What allele whose trait only shows up when no dominant allele is present?
Such a trait is called a recessive trait.
When is the only time a recessive trait appears on a organism?
A recessive trait only appears in an organism when it is homozygous for that trait, meaning it has two copies of the recessive allele. This occurs when an organism inherits the recessive allele from both parents.
Organisms that has two different alleles for a trait?
An organism with two different alleles for a trait is said to be heterozygous for that trait. This means that it has one dominant allele and one recessive allele. The dominant allele will usually determine the organism's phenotype for that trait.
Will an organism with a recessive allele for a particular form of a trait will always exhibit that form?
No, an organism with a recessive allele for a particular trait will only exhibit that form if it has two copies of the recessive allele (homozygous recessive). If it has one dominant allele, it will exhibit the dominant form of the trait.
Which is the dominant allele?
The dominant allele is the trait that shows up in the organism when the allele is present
Are Recessive traits always shown in an organism's offspring?
No, a recessive trait will only show in the offspring if there is no dominant allele masking it. The trait that will always show in the offspring is the dominant allele, provided one parent was homozygous for it.
Are recessive traits are always shown in an organism offspring?
No, a recessive trait will only show in the offspring if there is no dominant allele masking it. The trait that will always show in the offspring is the dominant allele, provided one parent was homozygous for it.
Is an allele a trait that determines a specific characteristic in an organism?
Yes, an allele is a variant form of a gene that determines a specific characteristic or trait in an organism.
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.
Is an organism with a recessive allele for a particular form of a trait will always exhibit that form true or false?
false
What allele whose trait only shows up when no dominant allele is present?
Such a trait is called a recessive trait.

No, an organism with a recessive allele for a particular trait will only exhibit that form if it has two copies of the recessive allele (homozygous recessive). If it has one dominant allele, it will exhibit the dominant form of the trait.
How can an organism have two different alleles for one trait but show one observable trait?
One allele would be dominant and the second allele would be recessive, so the organism would show only the dominant trait.
If a trait made an organism less likely to survive and reproduce what would happen to the allele for the trait?
The allele would not be passed on to further generations, as the organism cannot reproduce. There would be a smaller population of that organism who's genetic code does not contain the allele for that particular trait.
