Alleles are specific forms of a gene that code for a particular trait. They are made up of segments of DNA that determine variations in a specific characteristic, such as eye color or blood type. Each individual inherits two alleles for each gene, one from each parent.

Compare homozygous alleles to heterozygous alleles?
Homozygous alleles refer to having two identical alleles for a particular gene (e.g., AA or aa), while heterozygous alleles refer to having two different alleles for a specific gene (e.g., Aa). Homozygous individuals will express the same trait, while heterozygous individuals may show a mix of the traits associated with each allele.
What type of alleles mask recessive alleles?
Dominant alleles :-)
What are contrasting forms of genes called?
Alleles.
What term describes a pair of alleles that are the same?
Alleles that are the same = homozygous Alleles that are different = heterozygous
A trait controlled by four alleles is said to have?
A trait controlled by four alleles is said to have multiple alleles.
How alleles and genes related?
Genes and alleles are related because alleles are inside a gene. Genes are made up by alleles. A gene is DNA. The allele is like piece of DNA inside a gene.
What term defines a gene made up of two alleles?
Heterozygous
What term defines a gene made of two different alleles?
Heterozygous
Compare homozygous alleles to heterozygous alleles?
Homozygous alleles refer to having two identical alleles for a particular gene (e.g., AA or aa), while heterozygous alleles refer to having two different alleles for a specific gene (e.g., Aa). Homozygous individuals will express the same trait, while heterozygous individuals may show a mix of the traits associated with each allele.
What term define a gene made up of two different alleles?
Heterozygous
Genotype made of two different alleles?
Homozygous
Two different forms of the same gene are called?
Alleles
What type of alleles mask recessive alleles?
Dominant alleles :-)
What are contrasting forms of genes called?
Alleles.
What is Probability of a gamete getting one of a parents two alleles of a gene?
50% as there are two alleles per gene and four gametes are made from every undeveloped sex cell.
What term describes a pair of alleles that are the same?
Alleles that are the same = homozygous Alleles that are different = heterozygous
How are genes chromosomes and alleles related?
Well, Alleles are a forms of genes that can be dominant or recessive,a gene is a part of a strand of DNA, and a strand of DNA is made up of genes Hope This Helped
