Solution

Answer:

Dominant alleles will show themselves in both heterozygous and homozygous conditions.

In genetics, a dominant allele is one that will express its phenotype even when only one copy is present in the genotype. This means that when an individual has either two dominant alleles (homozygous dominant) or one dominant allele with one recessive allele (heterozygous), the trait associated with the dominant allele will be observed.

For example, if we have a gene where "A" represents a dominant allele and "a" represents a recessive allele:

  • Homozygous dominant (AA): The phenotype will express the dominant trait.
  • Heterozygous (Aa): The phenotype will also express the dominant trait.

In comparison, only individuals with the homozygous recessive genotype (aa) will express the recessive phenotype. Hence, dominant alleles are observable in both heterozygous and homozygous conditions.
