The different forms of a gene, like purple flowers or white flowers, are called

• gene

• alleles

• traits

These are sections of a chromosome that carry the genetic information for a trait.

• genetics

• trait

• gene

• alleles

This is the trait that blocks the other other trait.

• dominant trait

• recessive trait

This trait is hidden or blocked whenever the dominant allele is present

• Recessive trait

• Dominant Alleles
