How is a recessive allele from a dominant allele?

its different because adominant allele is in charge


What is recessivr allele?

For a recessive allele to produce a recessive phenotype, the individual must have two copies, one from each parent. An individual with one dominant and one recessive allele for a gene will have the dominant phenotype.


What is it called having a dominate and recessive allele?

If an individual has one recessive allele and one dominant allele, they are known as heterozygous. The dominant trait will be expressed.


What is the percentage of offspring that will exhibit the dominant trait from A crossing of A homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive individual?

The homozygous dominant individual can only pass on the dominant allele and the homozygous recessive individual can only pass on the recessive allele, therefore all offspring will be heterozygous and have the dominant phenotype.


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 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.


If and individual has one dominant allele and one recessive allele will the recessive allele show up?

YES ALWAYS!!! Even if you have for example, Aa (A being the dominant allele and a being the recessive allele) that trait will always be dominant!


What is allele masked by the dominant allele?

The Allele That Is Covered By The Dominant Allele Is The Recessive Allele.


What is the phenotype of an individual with one alleles for dimples and one for one 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 it Dominant allele What is a recessive allele?

A genotype in which there are both a dominant and a recessive allele is called heterozygous.


What is an allele that expresses itself in a hybrid?

A hybrid is formed for example when a homozygous dominant (AA) individual is crossed with homozygous recessive (aa) individual. all the individuals which are produced in F1 generation are hybrids (Aa) in case of a hybrid only dominant allele is expressed, while the recessive allele remains suppressed due to dominant recessive relationship.


How does a dominant form of an allele affect the expressions of a recessive form of an allele?

If you have a heterozygous (one dominant and one recessive) individual, it will only express the dominant allele in complete dominance; if it's codominance then some sort of "combined property" resulting from both the dominant and recessive allele would be expressed. On the other hand if you have a homozygous (both dominant or both recessive) you needn't bother.
