Correct definition Recessive allele

Answer 1

Answer:

Recessive Allele Definition

A recessive allele is a variety of genetic code that does not create a phenotype if a dominant allele is present. In a dominant/recessive relationship between two alleles, the recessive allele’s effects are masked by the more dramatic effects of the dominant allele. An allele is a specific variation of a gene, or specific segment of DNA. Different alleles produce slightly different proteins, which function in different ways.

In dominant/recessive relationships, the recessive allele produces a non-functional protein. The dominant allele produces a functioning protein. A heterozygous individual will appear the same as a homozygous dominant individual. This means that an organisms with two dominant alleles appear the same as an organism with only one functioning allele. Many enzymes are able to process their substrates so fast that one functional allele can produce enough enzyme to service the needs of the organism. Most enzymes are regulated anyway through a variety of methods, and are not allowed to convert substrate to their full potentia

Answer 2

Recessive is a quality found in the relationship between two versions of a gene. Individuals receive one version of a gene, called an allele, from each parent. If the alleles are different, the dominant allele will be expressed, while the effect of the other allele, called recessive, is masked.
