Question
**Question:** Recessive alleles (think about Mendel's peas) will be expressed if they are inherited ___________. **Options:** - ○ along with a dominant allele - ● from both parents - ○ from either parent - ○ from neither parent **Explanation:** In genetics, a recessive allele is expressed in the phenotype only when it is present in two copies, one from each parent. If an individual has one dominant allele and one recessive allele, the dominant trait will be expressed. Therefore, recessive alleles will be expressed only when they are inherited from both parents, as indicated by the selected option "from both parents."
