the characters and habits that the offspring does not carry of the parents is known as recessive characters.
example-woman-curl hair and fair body man-straight hair and black body.
offspring-curl hair and black body
in the above example, fair body and straight hair are the recessive characters that the child does not carry.

Why do more people have attached rather than unattached earlobes?
Cause attached earlobes are the dominant trait. Unattached earlobes are reccessive.
When an allele mask the presence of another allele it is said to be?
Dominent. Simple- you have two types of Alleles, Dominent and Reccessive. Imagine a punnet square for the allele that causes albinoism (A). One parent has Aa, or one dominent allele and one reccessive allele for the trait. If the dominent skin-tone gene wasn't there (A), then it would be AA and he would be an albino. But since he has a dominent allele, he has normal color. If he made a baby with another Aa combination, they would have 25% chance of having an AA baby with no reccessive allele, a 50% chance of having an identical Aa combination, and a 25% chance of having an albino baby, AA.
What is a dominant and ressesive?
dominant is a genetic factor that blocks another genetic factor. recessive is a genetic factor that is blocked by the presence of a dominant factor.
What are non-mendelian trait?
Non-Mendelian traits are:A trait with no clearly dominant alleleA trait with four allelesA trait controlled by many genes
In a hybrid individual the trait that is covered and not expressed is the what trait?
recessive
What does it mean that an organism is homozygous dominant for a trait?
Homozygous Dominant for a trait means that an organism has two dominant alleles for that trait. Here's an example: Trait: Widow's Peak Widow's Peak allele: Dominant (D) No widow's peak allele: Reccessive(d) Homozygous Dominant (DD) Homozygous Reccessive (dd) Heterozygous (Dd)
Why do more people have attached rather than unattached earlobes?
Cause attached earlobes are the dominant trait. Unattached earlobes are reccessive.
What is the definition of homozygous reccessive?
lowercase allele
Is folded tongue a reccessive or dominant?
Its Recessive
Is it possible for 2 homozygous recessive individuals to have a homozygous dominant child?
No, homozygous recessive indivuals MUST have two of the reccessive gene (bb), the possible combinations are bb,bb,bb,bb thus only a recessive trait is possible
What are heterozygous also called?
heterozygous genotypes are two different traits which one is reccessive and one is dominant. to be homozygous means that both the traits are either both reccessive or both dominant

How are autosomal disorders passed down?
the disorder is usually either autosomal recessive or autosomal dominant. they are passed down from the parents to the next generation. autosomal reccessive diseases only are when one parent gives one reccessive allele and the other parent gives the other reccessive allele. A dominant autosomal disorder can be inherited with one or two of the alleles.
What is a sex- linked disorder caused by a reccessive allele on the x chromosome?
yes
Is it possible to determine the genotype of a plant with a dominant phenotype the trait?
NO, because a dominant phenotype could either be homozygous or a heterozygous.so unless you are sure about the genotype of parents we can't determine it...but we can determine the genotype of a person showing reccessive phenotype, as a recessive trait always expresses itself in a homozygous condition..Read more: Is_it_possible_to_determine_the_genotype_of_a_person_showing_a_dominant_phenotype
What is a dominant and ressesive?
dominant is a genetic factor that blocks another genetic factor. recessive is a genetic factor that is blocked by the presence of a dominant factor.
Mendel used what term to describe heterozygous pea plants?
He used the term hybrid.
