Allele!!!!?

Question

When one allele is said to be dominant over the other allele, it:

a. shuts down the action of the other allele
b. it overshadows (masks) the other allele
c. alters the product of the other allele
d. none of the above

Answer 1

b. Overshadows (masks) the other allele.

When there are two alleles, they both "fight" to be more powerful. Sometimes one is dominant, but sometimes there is a mix.

Answer 2

b. like he said. This is true because of the following.

Let W represent wings, and w represent no wings. The following pair of fruit flies mate, Ww and Ww. The first fly has alleles for both. So does the second. The chart would look like this:

WW
Ww
Ww
ww

There would be three flies with wings, and only one fly without wings because the dominant trait would come out over the other.

Hope this helps.

Answer 3
