Alleles

What are dominant alleles?

Dominant alleles are the alleles that are dominant and often are shown in the person & seen very easily.

What are heterozygous alleles? (give examples.)

Heterozygous alleles are alleles that act on different colors. For example allele for blue & allele for black.

What are homozygous alleles? (give examples.)

Homozygous alleles are alleles that act on the same color. For example allele for blue & allele for blue.

What is the Genotype?

The Genotype is the full set of genes of an organism/ your genetic makeup.

How would a dominant allele affect the phenotype?

The dominant alleles would show/ be observable due to the fact that it's dominant over the recessive allele. So what ever the dominant allele is showing will represent the Phenotype.

Is there any way that a recessive alleles would have an effect/show?

The only way a recessive alleles would have an effect/show is when the cell has 2 recessive alleles and no dominant alleles.

What is the Phenotype?

The phenotype is the physical appearance/ observable characteristics.

What is a gene?

A gene is a section of your DNA.

What is an Allele?

An allele is a different version of the same gene.

How would the homozygous gene be represented in letters?

It would be repented as capital letter, capital letter. For example (T & T). Or it can be presented by lower case letter lowercase letter. For example (t & t).

How would the heterozygous gene be represented in letters?

It would be represented as Capital letter, lowercase letter. For example (T & t).

What are Recessive alleles?

Recessive alleles are the alleles that are not dominant and often are don't shown in the person & can't seen very easily, but i can be passed on.

what does chromosomes in a homologous pair contain that is the same?

They contain the same code for the same characteristics , such as color.

How would we represent dominant and recessive genes by letters?

We would represent a dominant genes by a Capital letter, and a recessive gene by a lower case letter. Both letter would be the same letter just one will be uppercase and one will be lowercase.

What would happen if both parent was heterozygous for seed shape gene? (N smooth, n wrinkled)

You would cross 2 heterozygous genes. (Nn, & Nn) and end up with 75% smooth & 25% wrinkled.
