Inactive alleles are versions of a gene that do not produce a functional protein or have reduced activity due to mutations. These alleles may not contribute to the individual's phenotype or may have a diminished effect compared to active alleles. Inactive alleles can result in genetic disorders or variations in traits.

What is the difference between an inactive allele and an expressed allele?
An expressed allele is actively used to produce a specific protein or trait in an organism, while an inactive allele is not being actively used or expressed due to various factors such as mutations or epigenetic modifications. Inactive alleles may still be present in an individual's genetic makeup but are not contributing to the phenotype.
