If a population does not have a particular dominant allele, it could return to the population through the Immigration of new individuals carrying the dominant allele.

Would a recessive allele or dominant allele be more common in population?

Dominant allele because its more likely to be received by the next generation.


What is an example of allele frequency?

An example of allele frequency is when in a population of 100 individuals, 60 individuals have the dominant allele (A) for a specific gene, while 40 individuals have the recessive allele (a). The frequency of the dominant allele (A) would be 0.6, and the frequency of the recessive allele (a) would be 0.4.


Which allele is recessive and which is dominant in the abbreviation Bb?

In the abbreviation Bb, the "B" allele is dominant and the "b" allele is recessive. Therefore, an individual with the genotype Bb would express the dominant "B" allele.


Is Tt dominant?

in Tt it would be the big T as the more dominant one


Is it proper to put the dominant allele before a recessive allele when determining the genotype?

Yes, it is common practice to denote the dominant allele before the recessive allele when writing a genotype to highlight the dominant trait. For example, if the dominant allele is represented by "A" and the recessive allele by "a," the genotype for a dominant individual would be written as "AA" rather than "aa."


Can a dwarf pea plant ever have a dominant allele?

A dwarf plant cannot have a dominant allele because it has recessive genes. You should look at the genotype, punnett square, of a dwarf plant for the probability of the dwarf plant having a dominant allele. :):):):) hoped this helped, otherwise, sorry! did my best....

What is the phenotype of an individual with one allele for dimple and one allele for no dimples?

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.


What is the phenotype of an individual with one allele for dimples and one for no dimples?

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.


What is the pheotype of tobacco plant with the genotype Cc?

The phenotype of a tobacco plant with the genotype Cc would likely exhibit the dominant trait associated with the dominant allele 'C'. The recessive allele 'c' would not be expressed in the presence of the dominant allele, resulting in a phenotypic trait characteristic of the dominant allele.


Is it true that mendel assumed that a dominant allele had masked the corresponding recessive allele in the f1 generation?

Yes, Gregor Mendel's principle of dominance stated that in the F1 generation, the dominant allele would mask the expression of the corresponding recessive allele. This means that only the dominant trait would be observed in the offspring.


What is a person who has one recessive allele for a trait and one dominant allele for the same trait and is able to pass in the trait on to their offspring?

That is heterozygous. Some scientist call these "hybrids"(no joke)The person is heterozygous for that trait and will have the dominant phenotype.An organism with both a dominant and recessive allele for a specific trait is called an heterozygote. They are heterozygous for this trait.
