What are Genes that produce alternative expressions of a trait called

Biology
1 answer:
Brrunno [24]3 years ago
3 0
The answer should be allele(s).

Alleles are alternative forms of genes. For example in eye color, there is brown eye allele that produces brown eyes or blue eye alleles that produces blue eyes. 

However, note that there may be dominant or recessive alleles. Dominant alleles are always expressed, meanwhile, recessive allele is only expressed when there is no dominant allele existing. 

An example is let say brown eye allele is dominant and blue eye allele is recessive. The eye gene is controlled by 2 alleles. If I had one brown eye allele and 1 blue, my eyes will be brown, because brown eye allele is dominant.

Explain how both a biochemist and a food scientist may assist in making sure people consume a more nutritious diet
arsen [322]
<span>Neither. You need a nutritionist. Biochemist and food scientists could peripherally be involved by seeing that food is processed in such a way as to preserve the nutritional value of the food. (e.g., seeing that the vitamins are not degraded by processing) and contaminates and bacteria are not introduced.</span>
