What else can I help you with?
What is the term that describes when both alleles show up equally?
homozygous dominant or recessive depending on what gene it is
What is a type of inheritance where both alleles show equally in The Offspring?
The type of inheritance where both alleles are expressed equally in the offspring is known as codominance. In codominance, neither allele is dominant or recessive, resulting in a phenotype that displays characteristics of both alleles simultaneously. A classic example of this is seen in certain blood types, such as AB blood type, where both A and B alleles are fully expressed.
When one allele does not mask the other and both show AB blood type?
This is an example of co-dominance in which both alleles are expressed equally.
How do dominant alleles recessive alleles differs?
Dominant alleles are the ones that show up in the phenotype. Recessive alleles do not unless both alleles are recessive, but can be passed on. For example: Tt , T=tall and t=short. Tall is dominant and short is recessive. You are tall and can pass on the short gene. Or, you can use black hair being dominant over red. Or, brown eyes being dominant over blue. Dominant can be seen on you and recessive can't.
Is the following sentence true or false all genes show simple patterns of dominant and recessive alleles?
False. Blood type genes have two dominant alleles (A and B), and one recessive (O). When a person gets one A allele and one B allele, they then have the blood type AB. Both are expressed equally. In other genes, a dominant allele might not be completely dominant, allowing the recessive allele to be partially expressed.

Are dominant alleles naturally better for an organism?
No, recessive alleles are equally likely to be inherited (if your dealing with only those two types of alleles). BUT, dominant alleles are the ones that show up. That is precisely why they are called dominant. Compared to recessive alleles, dominant ones will overrule the others, making it the one inherited.

How are dominant alleles often represnted?
Because they are dominant alleles, they normally show on the physical form of the living organism.
These alleles show their effect on the phenotype whenever they are present in the genotype?
Dominant alleles carry traits or characteristics that will show no matter what. Recessive alleles carry traits where you must be homozygous for the recessive trait in order for it to show. Dominant alleles are represented by capital letters (EX: R or M) Recessive alleles are represented by lower case letters (EX: r or m) In order for a dominant allele to show, you can have either RR or Rr, since it is dominant. However, in order for a recessive allele to show, you MUST have rr. Hope this helps!
How many dominant alleles must be present in order to show the dominant phenotype?
Only one dominant allele is needed to display the dominant phenotype. Dominant alleles are expressed when present, masking the effect of recessive alleles.
Is the following sentence true or false all genes show simple patterns of dominant and recessive alleles?

In other genes, a dominant allele might not be completely dominant, allowing the recessive allele to be partially expressed.
According to the rule of dominance if two different alleles are present is the dominant allele expressed?
the dominant allele is expressed when two (assuming you mean dominant and recessive) alleles are present. however, if the alleles are codominant they are both expressed.
What is the difference between homzyguos and heterozyous?
Homozygous recessive: is when the genes are both recessive Homozygous dominant: is when the genes are both dominant (traits show) Heterozygous dominant: is when one gene is dominant and one is recessive (traits show) Heterozygous recessive: is the same as heterozygous dominant but the dominant genes are inactive
How is recessive alleles different from dominant alleles?
You need two recessive alleles to get their trait, but only one dominant allele to get that trait. A dominant allele basically overrides a recessive one if they are together, but the recessive gene can show up in offspring.
