Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Recessive alleles express their effects only when an individual has two copies of the allele, meaning the individual is homozygous for that trait. Dominant alleles, in contrast, can express their effects in both homozygous and heterozygous individuals. Haploid and diploid refer to the number of sets of chromosomes in a cell, not to allele expression.
