... an individual is homozygous recessive for that allele or the locus is autosomal (or sex-linked) recessive. It can also happen if there is a mutation or loss of the other copy and the only available copy for the locus is the recessive copy.

What is a trait that is expressed even if only one gene for that form of the trait is inherited?
It is a dominant trait. You only need one gene of a dominant trait for that trait to be expressed. You need two copies of the recessive trait in order for the trait to be expressed.
True or False In heterozygous individuals only the recessive allele is expressed?
In heterozygous individuals, only the dominant allele is expressed. The recessive allele is present, but not expressed
When neither allele is dominant what are they expressed as?
Both of the alleles must be recessive. The trait expressed is a recessive trait.
In a hybrid individual the trait that is covered and not expressed is the what trait?
recessive
Describes a trait or an allele that is expressed only when two of the alleles for the saame characteristic are inherited?
I believe the answer is dominant. Please don't be rude if this isn't the correct answer.

What does reccesive trait mean?
A recessive trait is one that will only be expressed when in the presence of two recessive alleles.
True or False In heterozygous individuals only the recessive allele is expressed?
In heterozygous individuals, only the dominant allele is expressed. The recessive allele is present, but not expressed
When neither allele is dominant what are they expressed as?
Both of the alleles must be recessive. The trait expressed is a recessive trait.
In a hybrid individual the trait that is covered and not expressed is the what trait?
recessive
When neither allele is dominant (they are both expressed)?
Both of the alleles must be recessive. The trait expressed is a recessive trait.
Trait of an organism that can be masked by the dominant form of a trait?
A recessive trait is one that is not expressed when paired with a dominant trait. It may only be visually evident when both copies of the gene carry the recessive form.
Describes a trait or an allele that is expressed only when two of the alleles for the saame characteristic are inherited?
I believe the answer is dominant. Please don't be rude if this isn't the correct answer.
What is a trait that needs two factors in order to be expressed?
Actually, it is the recessive.................................................................UR WELCOME! :)
What types of alleles are expressed only if 2 identical copies exist on the homologs of the offspring?
Two copies of the recessive allele are the only way a recessive trait is expressed phenotypically.
Which form of gene pair is expressed when both dominant and recessive are present?
If the gene is governed by a dominant and recessive allele, then if the dominant allele is present, the dominant trait will be expressed. If both alleles are recessive, then the recessive trait will be expressed.
What is the only way a recessive trait will be expressed?
Breed/use only organisms showing the recessive trait for starters. If one of the parents or progenitor lines show the dominant trait then don't use their offspring. If the offspring of one of the oranisims show the dominant trait then remove both the parent of this offspring and this offspring showing the dominant trait from your program.
