Co-dominance or incomplete/semi-dominance.

Co-dominance is a mix between the two traits, for example (simplified), in roses, white crossed with red make pink. This makes 3 distinct variations.

Semi-dominance is a little more complicated as multiple variations may occur but they can all closely resemble eachother, but with minor variences. Generally, a heterozygous trait will have traits similar to the two different types of homozygous trait (i.e. (simplified) AA, Aa, and aA will all look slightly different, but AA contains traits of both Aa and aA). For example, tonkinese cats, show various semi-dominant types.

Capacity of one allele to suppress the expression?

A dominant allele will express itself if present, and will suppress the recessive allele's expression.


How is a recessive alle different from a dominant allele?

its different because adominant allele is in charge


What is a dominent allele?

A dominant allele is an allele that can take over a recessive allele, so if you have a dominant allele and a recessive allele, then the offspring will most likely have a dominant allele over a recessive allele. The dominant allele is expressed over the recessive allele.


Why is it that a person with an allele for a particular trait may not have a phenotype that shows the trait?

a dominant allele will express its trait , as well as be carried by the person. the word carrier is commonly used for a person who bears an allele which does not express itself(i.e. a recessive gene).


What is an allele that expresses itself in a hybrid?

A dominant allele is an allele that will always express itself in a hybrid individual, masking the expression of a recessive allele. This means that if a dominant allele is present, its trait will be visible in the phenotype of the organism.


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.


What is dominant and recessive allele?

A dominant allele is an allele where its phenotype will always be represented when the allele for that gene is present. A recessive allele can be masked by a dominant allele when a dominant and recessive allele are present for the same gene. A recessive allele will only present itself when two recessive alleles for a trait are present.

What is the biolagy term for allele?

The biology term for allele is a variant form of a gene, which can result in different traits or characteristics. Alleles are located at specific positions on a chromosome and can be dominant or recessive.


The factor that always expresses itself in the first filial generation?

The dominant factor always expresses itself in the first filial generation, known as the F1 generation. This means it is the trait that is visible in the offspring when one parent has a dominant allele for a particular characteristic.


How do you know if a gene is dominant or recessive?

A dominant allele expresses itself in every offspring in every generation. A dominant allele expresses itself irrespective of the other allele present along with it. A recessive allele, however is masked by the presence of dominant allele. It can express itself only if the other gene in the allele pair is also recessive. As a result, it is not expressed phenotypically in every generation.


What gene that does not express itself and is concealed by the presence of another gene of the same trait?

If you are talking about alleles, then this would be a recessive allele.
