Recessive. The trait will only show up if both parents have the gene recessively (aa). If the genetic make up is Aa or AA, there will be melanin production, meaning albinism is an aa gene only. Albinism is a recessive allele.

Is albinism a dominat or reccesive trait?
Albinism is a recessive trait which will result in a lack of pigmentation in the skin eyes and hair. It occurs about 1 in every 17,000 people in the U.S.
In a hybrid individual the trait that is covered and not expressed is the what trait?
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 is an example of recessive trait?
'Albinism' (being an albino, without skin pigmentation) is an example of a recessive trait. Specifically, it is an expressed recessive trait, because that person does not have the dominant gene at all, only two copies of a recessive gene. For a person to be an albino, his/her parents BOTH had to have the recessive gene and the offspring had to inherit THOSE TWO copies and can now only 'express' the recessive gene. There is no dominant gene to undo the albino trait. Side note: there is more than one form of albinism recognized in medical science, but all are examples of recessive traits. Another example of a recessive trait would be 'sickle-cell disease/anemia.'
Is diabetes dominant or recessive trait?
It is a recessive trait
Is albinism controlled by a dominant allele or by a recessive allele?
Recessive allele.
When does a recessive trait dominant over a dominant trait?
When two recessive genes are inherited, and the portion of recessive inheritance is 51% or greater in favor of the recessive trait.
Albinism is a recessive trait in humans that is controlled by a single gene how many recessive alleles must a person have to have albinism?

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.
Is albinism autosomal?
Albinism is a recessive, autosomal trait. So no, it is not sex-linked.
A living thing with a dominant and recessive gene for a trait?
A living thing with a dominant and a recessive gene for a trait is heterozygous. This individual will display the dominant phenotype for that trait but may have offspring that display the recessive trait.
A living thing that shows a dominant trait may be homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive for the trait true or false?
False because a living thing that shows a dominant trait can not be homozygous recessive. If it is homozygous recessive it will show recessive trait. A living thing that shows dominant trait may be homozygous dominant or hetrozygous.
