What are examples of recessive traits and dominant traits?
PRIZExREBEL
That's strictly a human view point.
In fact there is no such difference, you just have two different proteins (one from each gene) which have behaviors relative to each other.
How we (us, people) interpret the somatic result of the competition between them is labeled "dominant or recessive".
For example - assume one form is totally non functional,
then the somatic result would be classed as recessive.

∙ 15y agodominant: covers up a recesive trait (if someone has the dominant trait and the recesive trait, the dominant shows) the only time recesive shows is when there are two recesive traits are there but no dominant trait

There are two types of genes for each trait: Dominant, and Recessive. The combination determines the trait to be expressed
At the time of conception, sperm cell fuses with the ovum to create a new cell called Zygot with 46 (23 pairs) chromosomes. On each pair of Chromosomes, there are two genes that determine the inherited trait. This gene pair is called allele. If the two pair of allele are identical (one pair from each parent), the off spring will express that trait.
Normally, there are two types of genes for each trait: Dominant, and Recessive. Dominant genes when paired with recessive gene determines the trait to be expressed. Recessive gene is not expressed when paired with dominant gene. Recessive genes are only expressed when paired with another recessive gene.
Twenty two pair of Chromosomes look alike and are called autosomes. The twenty-third pair is different, two X-chromosomes for female, one X- and one Y- chromosome for a male. Therefore, this is called sex linked chromosomes.
Genes associated with dominant traits have more complete information than the recessive traits.
The dominant trait genes always trump the recessive trait genes.
The Dominate/ Recessive is a comparative concept as well, which means that brown eye color is dominant trait when compared to grey, green, hazel, or blue eye colors.

∙ 13y agoDominant Trait- Say your mother has blue eyes and your father has brown, and you come out with blue eyes. Blue eyes is the dominant trait because you and physically see it.
------
While brown eyes is your Recessive trait becaus it is able to be inherited but is not physically seen, you dont have brown eyes.

Dominant and recessive traits?
A dominant trait is a genetic trait which may cause a hereditary condition, a recessive trait disappears or goes in the background and only shows in a few generations.
In the F2 generation in Mendel's experiment's the ratio of dominant to recessive traits was?
3:1 homozygous dominant, heterozygous dominant, heterozygous dominant and homozygous recessive.
Dominant traits are represented by a lower case letter and recessive traits are represented by an upper case letter?
No. Dominant traits are uppercase and recessive traits are lowercase.
What gene will exhibit its traits even in a prensesce of a recessive gene?
The dominant allele
Comapre and contrast dominant and recessive traits?
Dominant traits only require one allele to be present in order for the trait to be expressed, while recessive traits must have both alleles present in order for the trait to be expressed.
What is the difference dominant and recessive trait?
Dominant traits are the traits that mask the recessive traits. The dominant traits are stronger than recessive!
What do organisms pass to their offspring?
They pass on traits. There are recessive traits and dominant traits. The dominant trait is normally the one that overpowers recessive
What genes are recessive traits?
These traits are called dominant traits. They will overcome the recessive gene and the dominant trait will be expressed. A recessive gene needs two alleles present in its genotype to be expressed.
What is the difference between homzyguos and heterozyous?
Homozygous recessive: is when the genes are both recessive Homozygous dominant: is when the genes are both dominant (traits show) Heterozygous dominant: is when one gene is dominant and one is recessive (traits show) Heterozygous recessive: is the same as heterozygous dominant but the dominant genes are inactive
How are dominant and recessive genes related?
Dominate them. Recessive alleles do not show in your phenotype unless you have two of the same recessive allele. But if you inherit one dominant and one recessive, it is the dominant that always shows in your phenotype.
Dominant and recessive traits?
A dominant trait is a genetic trait which may cause a hereditary condition, a recessive trait disappears or goes in the background and only shows in a few generations.
What are the type of traits?
I think it is Dominant and recessive.
What did Mendel call the observed trait and the trait that seemed to disappear?
he called the observed traits dominant and the disapear traits recessive.
Mendel accounted for the observation that traits which had disappeared in the F1 generation reappeared in the F2 generation by proposing that?
C) traits can be dominant or recessive, and the recessive traits were obscured by the dominant ones in the F1
In the F2 generation in Mendel's experiment's the ratio of dominant to recessive traits was?
3:1 homozygous dominant, heterozygous dominant, heterozygous dominant and homozygous recessive.
Trait of an organism that can be masked by the dominant by the dominant form of a trait?
A trait that masks another trait is called dominant, or a dominant trait.
What are the two types of traits?
I think it is Dominant and recessive.
