Key Stage 4
Meaning
Alleles are different forms of the same gene.
About Alleles
- A single gene, such as the gene for eye colour, may have several alleles such as blue eyes, brown eyes, green eyes...etc.
- Alleles can be dominant or recessive.
- Dominant alleles are expressed in the phenotype when there is only one copy of the allele. Whereas recessive alleles are only expressed in the phenotype when there are two copies.
