The allele not expressed would be recessive whilst the other is dominant. This would be the case in a heterozygous genotype.

Does a recessive allele need another recessive allele to be expressed?

Yes, a recessive allele needs to be paired with another recessive allele in order to be expressed. This is because recessive alleles are only expressed when an individual has two copies of the recessive allele, one from each parent. If an individual has one dominant allele and one recessive allele for a particular trait, the dominant allele will be expressed.


Does recessive allele is expressed if there is no dominant allele present?

Yes, a recessive allele will be expressed if there is no dominant allele present in the genotype. This is because in the absence of a dominant allele, the recessive allele has the opportunity to be expressed in the phenotype.


What does a dominant allele does this to another allele?

A dominant allele will mask the expression of a recessive allele when they are present together in an organism. The dominant allele will be expressed, while the recessive allele will not be visibly expressed in the organism's phenotype.


Allele that is always expressed if present?

An allele that is always expressed when it is present is the dominant allele.


Which form of gene pair is expressed when both dominant and recessive are present?

In a situation where both a dominant and recessive allele are present in a gene pair, the dominant allele will be expressed phenotypically. The presence of a dominant allele overrides the expression of the recessive allele.

What the 2 alleles are that control a specific characteristic?

The two alleles that control a specific characteristic are typically referred to as the dominant allele and the recessive allele. The dominant allele is expressed in the phenotype when present with a recessive allele, while the recessive allele is only expressed when two copies are present.


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.

What type of allele is masked when a dominant allele is present?

The recessive allele is masked when a dominant allele is present. Dominant alleles are expressed over recessive alleles in heterozygous individuals.
