Best Answer

No. Heterochromatic regions of DNA are not readily expressed as they are densely packaged. Some of these regions do not code for genes at all.

What is condensed visible form of chromatin?

Heterochromatin Heterochromatin is a tightly packed form of DNA or condensed DNA, which comes in multiple varieties. These varieties lie on a continuum between the two extremes of constitutive heterochromatin and facultative heterochromatin. Both play a role in the expression of genes.

What is the differencs between dominant and recessive?

Dominant genes are genes that are expressed more readily than recessive genes, i.e. if you had a genotype that was AaBb, A being for brown hair, a for blonde hair, B for brown eyes, b for blue, you would have brown hair and brown eyes as the genes for those phenotypes are dominant. For recessive genes to be expressed in the phenotype the gamete needs to have recessive genes for both "slots", e.g. AA for blonde hair to be expressed or bb for blue eyes to be expressed. Edd

A trait that is not expressed when another is present is referred to as a recessive trait.

Because peoples appearances changes as their body changes.


What is a trait expressed when two different genes for the same trait present?

If the two different genes include one dominant allele and one recessive allele, which is the heterozygous genotype, the dominant phenotype is expressed. For example, if R represents the red flower allele and r represents the white flower allele, the flowers would be red. If the trait is governed by incomplete dominance, then the heterozygous genotype (Rr) will produce an intermediate phenotype, such as pink.
