Question
an allele whose trait always shows up in the organism when the allele is present is called a
genetic anomaly
recessive allele
monster allele
dominant allele
Brief Explanations
To solve this, we recall the definitions of genetic terms:
- A "genetic anomaly" refers to an abnormal genetic condition, not related to allele expression.
- A "recessive allele" is only expressed when two copies are present (homozygous recessive).
- "Monster allele" is not a valid genetic term.
- A "dominant allele" is defined as an allele whose trait is always expressed in the organism when the allele is present (even in heterozygous condition, where only one copy is present).
