Question

What is an individual that bears a dominant normal allele that masks the effects of the recessive abnormal one?

Expert Solution

Step 1 Introduction

The gene is the basic physical and functional unit of heredity. It consists of a specific sequence of nucleotides at a given position on a given chromosome that code for a specific protein (or, in some cases, an RNA molecule).
