A dominant allele is the allele which expresses itself morphologically.for example;the dimple on your cheek.your mom has a dimple whereas your father doesn't have it .but you too possess it.then ,your mother's allele serves to be the dominant allele.

How does an allele trait in an organism?
An allele causes a trait by either being dominant orrecessive or example, allele A will occur over allele a because it is dominant.
When on e allele of a gene masks the presence of the other allele what form is masked?
The recessive allele.
What gene is defined as a gene that controls the appearance of a certain trait?
the dominant allele
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.
Recessive allele is more common or dominant allele?
Not necessarily. I think the dominant genes are more common, but there are lot of exceptions out there. For example, having six fingers in humans is a dominant gene, but it isn't all that common.
What is allele masked by the dominant allele?
The Allele That Is Covered By The Dominant Allele Is The Recessive Allele.
How does an allele trait in an organism?
An allele causes a trait by either being dominant orrecessive or example, allele A will occur over allele a because it is dominant.
How do you write alleles?
It will be the lowercase form of the dominant allele. For example the dominant form for tallness is T, the recessive allele for shortness is t.
Allele that is always expressed if present?
An allele that is always expressed when it is present is the dominant allele.
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 the general term for an allele that masked in the phenotype by the present of another allele?
Recessive. It is denoted by the lower case version of the first letter of the Dominant gene. For example, if the dominant is "A" then the allele is "a".
When on e allele of a gene masks the presence of the other allele what form is masked?
The recessive allele.
What is caused by a dominant allele located on an autosome?
The dominant allele will cause the appearance of the phenotype that this dominant allele represents...
What gene is defined as a gene that controls the appearance of a certain trait?
the dominant allele
Which is the dominant allele?
The dominant allele is the trait that shows up in the organism when the allele is present
Is a recessive allele different from a dominant allele?
Yes, they are different. A recessive allele gets its name because when in the presence of a dominant allele, it will "recede" and not show, hence the name for the dominant allele.
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.
