A recessive trait can only be passed along if both parents carry at least one of the recessive genes to the child. If both parents manifest the trait (that is, if both parents have both recessive genes), then the child will manifest (that is, carry both recessive genes and display) the recessive trait. If one parent manifests and the other parent only carries the trait (that is, carries one dominant and one recessive gene) then the child will definitely carry and have a 50% chance of manifesting. If both parents carry the recessive, the child is 25% likely not to carry the trait at all, 50% likely to carry and 25% likely to manifest the trait.

What is meaning of recessive traits?
an inherited character determined by a recessive gene
Why are some traits not inherited?
Some of these traits are recessive and are not actually seen but are there.
What type of traits is inherited if an organism receives recessive alleles?
The trait received is recessive.
Why are ratios so important in understanding how dominant and recessive traits are inherited?
you are fake
What are those inherited traits?
Inherited traits are things such as hair color, eye color, height, etc. These are determined by the recessive and dominant genes passed on by the biological parents.
Dominant traits are represented by a lower case letter and recessive traits are represented by an upper case letter?
No. Dominant traits are uppercase and recessive traits are lowercase.
What are some similarities between dominant and recessive traits?
Similarty: They both come from inherited parents.
What was Mendel's main contribution to hereditary science?
Gregor Mendel showed the way dominant and recessive traits are inherited and expressed.
What is the difference dominant and recessive trait?
Dominant traits are the traits that mask the recessive traits. The dominant traits are stronger than recessive!
What are the probable mode of inheritance from a pedigree diagram showing phenotypes?
The modes of inheritance are y-linked, x-linked, and mitochondrial. Inherited traits can then be recessive, dominant, or autosomal depending on how they are inherited.
What is the difference between inherited traits and traits that are not inherited?
Traits are abilities that you can receive out of practice, or from an ancestor. Inherited traits are talents that you have naturally inherited by an ancestor.
What are some whale inherited traits?
Traits can not be inherited in reverse order. Traits can be inherited FROM the parents
