The alleles on the sex chromosomes are still dominant or recessive, the difference is that even a recessive trait on the X chromosome can be expressed if it is located at
a gene locus that has no matching locus on the Y chromosome.
The alleles for red-green color blindness are located on the X chromosome is a place that has no corresponding locus on the Y chromosome.
Inheritance for a male child depends on the mother's genetics and, if she is a carrier, the male child has a 50% chance of being color blind.

What are dominant traits represented?
Recessive
Dominant and recessive traits?
A dominant trait is a genetic trait which may cause a hereditary condition, a recessive trait disappears or goes in the background and only shows in a few generations.
In the F2 generation in Mendel's experiment's the ratio of dominant to recessive traits was?
3:1 homozygous dominant, heterozygous dominant, heterozygous dominant and homozygous recessive.
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 gene will exhibit its traits even in a prensesce of a recessive gene?
The dominant allele
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 symbols do scientists use represent dominant and recessive genes?
Usually, you would use capital letters for dominant traits (A), and lowercase for recessive (a)
What are the 2 types of traits?
The two types of traits are acquired traits, which are characteristics that are developed during an individual's lifetime, and inherited traits, which are passed down from parents through their genetic material.
What do organisms pass to their offspring?
They pass on traits. There are recessive traits and dominant traits. The dominant trait is normally the one that overpowers recessive
What genes are recessive traits?
These traits are called dominant traits. They will overcome the recessive gene and the dominant trait will be expressed. A recessive gene needs two alleles present in its genotype to be expressed.
What are dominant traits represented?
Recessive
What is the difference between homzyguos and heterozyous?
Homozygous recessive: is when the genes are both recessive Homozygous dominant: is when the genes are both dominant (traits show) Heterozygous dominant: is when one gene is dominant and one is recessive (traits show) Heterozygous recessive: is the same as heterozygous dominant but the dominant genes are inactive
How are dominant and recessive genes related?
Dominate them. Recessive alleles do not show in your phenotype unless you have two of the same recessive allele. But if you inherit one dominant and one recessive, it is the dominant that always shows in your phenotype.
Dominant and recessive traits?
A dominant trait is a genetic trait which may cause a hereditary condition, a recessive trait disappears or goes in the background and only shows in a few generations.
What are the type of traits?
I think it is Dominant and recessive.
What did Mendel call the observed trait and the trait that seemed to disappear?
he called the observed traits dominant and the disapear traits recessive.
Mendel accounted for the observation that traits which had disappeared in the F1 generation reappeared in the F2 generation by proposing that?
C) traits can be dominant or recessive, and the recessive traits were obscured by the dominant ones in the F1
