The different forms of a gene are called:

• chromosomes

• DNA

• algae

• allele

• dominant

• recessive

• mutations

Alleles that only show up when there is no dominant allele there to cover it

• dominant

• recessive

• mutations

Organisms with 2 different alleles for a trait are:

• purebred

• hybrid
