recessive alleles get masked to show the difference

in a dominant gene and a recessive gene. the dominate

genes masks the recessive genes to show that the dominate

gene is more dominate or more likely to be the outcome than

the reccessive gene but the masked gene is not always recessive.

In what alleles can be observed in the phenotype?

you mean phenotype, and its dominant alleles


What will always hide a recessive trait?

A dominant trait will always hide a recessive trait in an individual's phenotype because the dominant allele is expressed over the recessive allele in the presence of both alleles.


Why phenotypes don't always express its entire genotype?

Phenotypes are the entirety of the observable traits. Genotypes are the instructions in the genetic code. Dominant alleles override the recessive alleles, making only the dominant alleles expressed.


In a heterozygous genotype the alleles always shows in the phenotype.?

In a heterozygous genotype, where an individual possesses two different alleles for a particular gene, the phenotype can be influenced by the dominance relationship between the alleles. Typically, the dominant allele will mask the expression of the recessive allele, resulting in the phenotype reflecting only the dominant trait. However, in some cases, such as incomplete dominance or codominance, both alleles can contribute to the phenotype. Therefore, it is not accurate to say that both alleles always show in the phenotype.


How do genetics indicate a dominate allele and a recessive allele?

I only have basic genetic knowledge, but I'm fairly certain that a dominant allele would be indicated by an uppercase letter and a recessive one would be indicated by a lower-case one. For example, the color bi-black would be indicated as "bb" for two recessive alleles, "Bb" for one, and "BB" for only dominant alleles. Make sense? :)

What are alleles that have an effect on an organisms phenotype?

Alleles that have an effect on an organism's phenotype are called dominant alleles. Dominant alleles mask the effects of recessive alleles in heterozygous individuals, resulting in the dominant allele's phenotype being expressed.


How do dominant and recessive alleles affect pheno type?

An allele can effect the phenotype of an organism by its dominance or recessiveness. If two dominant alleles are crossed the offsprings will carry the dominant trait of the alleles. If a dominant allele is crossed with recessive allele the phenotype of the offsprings will be of that of the dominant allele. And if two recessive alleles are crossed the phenotype of their offsprings will carry the reccesive trait.


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.

What is an allele that always shows up in an organism's phenotype called - an allele that masks the other allele?

An allele that always shows up in an organism's phenotype and masks the expression of another allele is called dominant. Dominant alleles are always expressed, even when paired with a recessive allele.


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.


True or False In heterozygous individuals only the recessive allele is expressed?

In heterozygous individuals, only the dominant allele is expressed. The recessive allele is present, but not expressed


How are dominant and recessive genes related?

Dominate them. Recessive alleles do not show in your phenotype unless you have two of the same recessive allele. But if you inherit one dominant and one recessive, it is the dominant that always shows in your phenotype.

What is the nature of a relationship in which one allele is completely dominant over another in genetic inheritance?

In a relationship where one allele is completely dominant over another in genetic inheritance, the dominant allele will always be expressed in the phenotype, while the recessive allele will only be expressed if both alleles are recessive. This is known as complete dominance.
