Chapter 19, Problem 6SQ
Summary Introduction
Introduction: An allele is a variant of a gene. The allele can be dominant or recessive. The dominant allele is the one that will be expressed in the heterozygous condition where two different alleles of the same gene are present. The phenotypic ratio refers to the ratio of the number of organisms in the generation that would express several
