The different forms of a gene are called:
a) alleles
b) phenotypes
c) genotypes
d) chromosomes

What is a recessive allele?
a) chromosomes
b) the trait that you isn't noticeable
c) trait may be masked when other alleles are present
d) one whose trait always shows up in the organism when the allele is present

What is a dominant allele?
a) one whose trait may be masked when other alleles are present
