Is an x linked dominant trait the same as an x linked recessive gene?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
An X-linked recessive trait is coded for by a gene on the X-chromosome and is not dominant (is canceled out by the presence of a different allele).
Example of X-linked recessive traits are; Haemophilia A & B and Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

∙ 14y agoAn x-linked recessive trait is a trait located on a x gene that is not dominant. It typically will show up when there is only 1 x gene, in the instance of males. Color blindness is an example.

∙ 11y agoNo. X - linked dominant can happen in both males and females, while X - linked recessive is very rare in females because both of their X chromosomes must be affected to show the trait in their phenotypes.
Also, X - linked dominant cannot skip generations. If the trait does not show up in one generation, it will not appear in the next. However, X - linked recessive can be hidden and thus skip a generation. So, a female could have one affected X chromosome from her parents, and her (male) offspring with an unaffected male could potentially have the disease.

∙ 11y agono they are not the same because the dominant trait comes from both our father and mother but if mother give us 2 trait of same thing and father gives only 1 trait then his trait will be blocked and we will get the mothers trait and this is called dominant trait
in recessive trait we get automaticly a trait in our gene it is not from our parents it is naturaly in us.

Who always wins a dominant gene or a recessive gene?
The dominant gene always win because it is represented by upper case letters. And the recessive genes loses all the time because it is represented by a lower case letter.A dominant gene in most cases. If it an autosomal trait (on body cells) in all cases the dominant gene will win. In the case with x, sex linked recessive traits the recessive trait will appear in males if only one gene is presentA dominant gene in most cases. If it an autosomal trait (on body cells) in all cases the dominant gene will win. In the case with x, sex linked recessive traits the recessive trait will appear in males if only one gene is present
Genes that are only seen when paired with a recessive gene?
if u have a recessive gene with a recessive gene then u can see the recessive gene but if you have a dominant gene with a recessive gene you can only see the dominant gene hope that helps:)
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 gene won't display its trait in the prescience of a dominate trait?
The recessive form of a gene, called a recessive allele, will not be expressed in the presence of the dominant form of the gene, called a dominant allele.
What is the different between dominant and recessive?
Dominant trait is the one which is expressed when the homologous pair of genes controlling it are either homozygous or Hetrozygous dominant; on the other hand recessive trait has both genes to be homozygous recessive. in fact trait is controlled by the form of genes. Dominant gene expresses even when it is in the company of recessive gene. However recessive gene expresses only when in company of recessive gene
What is a recessive traits?
An x-linked recessive trait is a trait located on a x gene that is not dominant. It typically will show up when there is only 1 x gene, in the instance of males. Color blindness is an example.
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.

If a daughter expresses an x-linked recessive gene she inherited the trait from?
For a female to express an X linked recessive gene, she must have inherited it from both parents. Every female (without disease) has two X chromosomes: XX, while males have an X and a Y: XY. A recessive gene is one that will not be expressed if there is a copy of the dominant gene present. sex linked genes have their own special set of rules because the sex chromosomes are the only ones which vary by presence or absence between different people. Because a male only has one X chromsome, he will express all the genes on that chromosome; this can be used to determine if a gene is sex linked and recessive/dominant. A recessive gene will not be expressed if there is a dominant gene for that allele present. This means that if a female (XX) is expressing an x-linked recessive trait, she must have two recessive genes for that trait; therefore she inherited the trait from both parents.

What is an XO genotype?
it means it has one gene from the dominant trait and one gene from the recessive trait
If an offspring receives a pair of trait-controllers containing both a dominant and a recessive trait what happens to the recessive trait?
The dominant trait is shown in that organism with the possibility of carrying either the dominant or recessive gene to the next generation
What is a dominant gene and what is a recessive gene?
Recessive gene is one which is supressed and do not show their characteristics and dominant gene is one which show their characteristics for example if a father has brown hair and mother has black hairs and if their son has black hair then in this case gene which has characteristics of black is dominant and the other which has characteristics of brown colour is recessive
