recessive
because when you take a gene from another species they don't always turn out the way you whant them to for example; if you take a gene from a blue plant and put it into a red plant you might get a verious of colour because somewhere in the family tree there would be a different colour of parents.
Autosomal recessive alleles ( both males and females) and X-linked alleles in females always express themselves in homozygous condition. On other hand, X -chromosome linked recessive allele express singly in males.

Of course it does.

recessive (sraight out of my biology lesson!)
The different forms of a gene are called alleles. In Mendelian genetics, a gene has a dominant allele and a recessive allele. The dominant allele masks the recessive allele if present. So there are two possible dominant genotypes: homozygous dominant, in which both dominant alleles are present; and heterozygous, in which one allele is dominant and the other allele is recessive. The only way to express a recessive trait is to have the homozygous recessive genotype.
an allele that is not expressed when paired with a dominant allele. Only expressed when paired with another recessive allele.
Alleles are different types of a gene. Each gene controls a characteristic and they is usually a recessive allele and a dominant one. The main similarity is that they both control a certain characteristic!
Recessive allele disorders are just as they sound - they are disorders that are a result of a prevalent recessive allele in one's genetic makeup. A recessive allele disorder will rarely occur since it is dependent on the crossing of two heterozygous parent cells, but it can lead to interesting consequences. An example of a recessive allele disorder is hemophilia - the body's inability to clot blood - and it has affected much of the European royalty in history, such as Queen Victoria of Great Britain.
Heterozygous dominant. Could also be called a masked trait.
A dominant gene will be expressed if paired with a recessive gene or with a dominant gene for the same trait. For example, the trait for brown eyes (BB) is dominant over blue eyes (bb) - thus an offspring Bb will express brown eyes, just as BB.
A honozygous gene will be expressed, but not necessarily because it is dominant; it would be expressed because there is no alternative. If I ask you to pick one of two cards, and they are both the jack of diamonds, what card will you pick? To know if a gene is dominant you have to find out if it actually will be expressed even when there is a different gene for that trait, with which it is paired.
A lethal dominant gene prohibits the organism from reproducing irregardless of the paired gene, so it is removed from the gene pool as soon as it appears. A lethal recessive gene, on the other hand, does not prevent reproduction unless it is paired with another lethal recessive, so it may be passed down through many generations before becoming paired and preventing reproduction.
the allele causes a certain type of protein to form-apex
An allele is one particular form of a gene. A large population of living things typically have several different allele for any particular gene. For example, one important gene in humans determines blood type compatibility. That gene comes in 3 different alleles -- A, B, and O. Most plants and animals are diploid -- they have 2 of each gene, one inherited from each parent. For example, any one human has one of six possible genotypes for that gene: AA, BB, OO, AB, AO, BO. A recessive allele seems to disappear when paired with a dominant allele. If something has a dominant and recessive allele, the dominant will overshadow the recessive, but the recessive will still be there (just not showing). For example, the O allele is recessive when paired with the A allele, which is dominant, and so humans with the AO genotype as well as the AA genotype have "type A blood". Only humans with the OO genotype show "type O blood". According to the Wikipedia "allele" article, some people once thought that all genes had only one "normal" allele, which was both common and dominant, and all other versions of that gene (all other alleles) were rare and recessive. However, most genes have many different "normal" alleles, whose frequencies vary from one population to another. With some genes, the most common allele is recessive.
