  • Understanding Dominant Alleles: How Traits are Inherited
    The allele that is expressed when two different alleles occur together is called the dominant allele.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Alleles: Different versions of a gene.

    * Dominant allele: An allele whose trait is expressed even if only one copy is present. It masks the effect of the recessive allele.

    * Recessive allele: An allele whose trait is only expressed if two copies are present. It is masked by the dominant allele.
