Question

Which Allele is "Expressed" or shown?

  1. Dominant Allele
  2. Recessive Allele
  3. No Alleles
  4. All Alleles

hintHint:

Dominant Allele

The correct answer is: Dominant Allele


    Genes come in different versions, or alleles, with dominant alleles being expressed over recessive alleles.
    Dominant alleles show their effect even if the individual only has one copy of the allele. For example, the allele for brown eyes is dominant, therefore we only need one copy of the ‘brown eye’ allele to have brown eyes (although, with two copies we will still have brown eyes).
