Genotype
The allele that is expressed in an individual is referred to as the dominant allele. This allele masks the effect of the recessive allele when present.
its different because adominant allele is in charge
During fertilization, an individual receives one allele for each gene from each parent. This means that a person inherits one allele for each gene from their mother and one allele from their father. The combination of alleles received determines the individual's genotype for that particular gene.
A dominant allele expresses its trait in an individual when present, masking the effect of a recessive allele. This means that if an individual has at least one copy of a dominant allele, the associated trait will be displayed.
A homozygous recessive individual (ss) carries two copies of the recessive allele and does not possess a dominant allele. Therefore, when this individual produces gametes, all gametes will carry only the recessive allele (s). Consequently, the probability of a homozygous recessive individual producing a gamete with a dominant allele is 0%.
A heterozygous allele combination is typically shown using letters to represent the alleles of a gene. For example, if the alleles for a gene are "A" and "a," a heterozygous individual would be represented as "Aa." This signifies that the individual has one copy of each allele.
No, an allele is not considered a genotype in genetics. An allele is a specific form of a gene, while a genotype refers to the combination of alleles an individual has for a particular gene.
An allele is a specific version of a gene, while a genotype refers to the combination of alleles that an individual has for a particular trait. In simpler terms, an allele is like a variation of a gene, and a genotype is the specific genetic makeup of an individual.

This would depend on whether the allele for dimples is dominant or recessive. If the allele for dimples is dominant and the no dimples allele is recessive then the phenotype of the individual would be dimpled. If the allele for no dimples is dominant and the allele for no dimples is recessive then the dimples will not be expressed. If these alleles are codominant then the dimples will be expressed but not as much as in an individual who has both alleles for dimples.

The individual with two of the same allele is "homozygous" for a trait.
A homozygous recessive individual (ss) carries two copies of the recessive allele and does not possess a dominant allele. Therefore, when this individual produces gametes, all gametes will carry only the recessive allele (s). Consequently, the probability of a homozygous recessive individual producing a gamete with a dominant allele is 0%.
