What else can I help you with?
Combinations of alleles are know as a genotype?
Genotype is the set of all genes present in the nucleus of a somatic cell. Alleles are segments of DNA containing multiple genes
What type of alleles are present in an organism?
Capital letters usually denote dominant alleles. Therefore QQ genotype would contain two dominant alleles for the Q genotype.
How would you describe the alleles in a heterozygous genotype?
In a heterozygous genotype, an individual possesses two different alleles for a particular gene, with one being dominant and the other recessive. The dominant allele is expressed in the phenotype, while the recessive allele is not unless two recessive alleles are present.
Using the terms dominant recessive explain the difference between genotype and phenotype?
No, I think you have your terms confused.The terms "dominant" and "recessive" are applied to alleles of a genotype. A genotype is an expression (using upper- and lower-case letters) that shows what alleles an organism has for a particular locus. The two alleles (in most cases) inherited (one from mother and one from father) can either be dominant or recessive. The recessive allele is not fully expressed in the presence of the dominant allele and is only expressed when there are two recessive alleles. The genotype could be called "recessive" I suppose if the genotype is homozygous recessive. But remember that two recessive alleles as a genotype is only one possibility - in which case you can't say the "genotype is recessive".The phenotype is dependent on the genotype. If present, the dominant alleles (in simple Mendelian genetics) will determine the phenotype - what the organism's trait or characteristic is. The phenotype will never be what is coded by the recessive allele unless the genotype is two recessive alleles.
When will a trait controlled by a recessive allele be shown?
only when two recessive alleles are present
A hetrozygous genotype is when the alleles present are?
Different, such as Bb.
How can one determine whether a genotype is heterozygous or homozygous?
One can determine whether a genotype is heterozygous or homozygous by looking at the alleles present. If there are two different alleles for a particular gene, the genotype is heterozygous. If there are two of the same alleles, the genotype is homozygous.
What type allele are present in an organism with a QQ genotype?
Capital letters usually denote dominant alleles. Therefore QQ genotype would contain two dominant alleles for the Q genotype.
Which allele is expressed even if only one copy is present in genotype?
dominant alleles
Genevieve has the genotype?
Genevieve has the genotype, referring to the specific combination of alleles that she has for a particular gene. This genotype could dictate her physical characteristics or susceptibility to certain diseases based on the specific alleles present.

A heterozygous genotype is when the alleles present are such as Bb?
different, not alike, homozygous is alike
How would you describe the alleles in a heterozygous genotype?
In a heterozygous genotype, an individual possesses two different alleles for a particular gene, with one being dominant and the other recessive. The dominant allele is expressed in the phenotype, while the recessive allele is not unless two recessive alleles are present.
What are alleles for a particular trait that are always expressed are said to be?
Dominant alleles. Dominant alleles will always be expressed in the phenotype, even if only one copy is present in the genotype.
Which is most inclusive A. Allele B. Genotype?
Genotype is more inclusive than allele. Genotype refers to the genetic makeup of an organism, including all alleles present at a particular genetic locus. Allele is a specific form of a gene that can be present at a given locus within an organism's genome.
What are alleles and what are the two forms?
Alleles are different versions of a gene that can code for different traits. The two forms of alleles are dominant and recessive. Dominant alleles mask the effects of recessive alleles when present together in an individual's genotype.
