1

when both alleles are expressed they are known as ___.

1

A gene is a pair of alleles that both affect the phenotype of an organism when present in a heterozygote.

1

A gene is the basic unit of inheritance by which inherited characteristics are transferred from parent to offspring, consisting of a length of DNA on a chromosome.
