If a baby goat received dominant gene for curly hair from one parent and recessive gene for straight hair from the other which trait will the baby goat display?
curly hair, as the dominant gene overrules the recessive gene I THINK :)
What is a dormant gene?
A dormant gene is one that is present but inactive. An example of this would be when a baby is conceived by a blue eyed and brown eyed parent. The child will have brown eyes. This is because the brown eyed gene is dominant and the blue eyed gene will lay dormant.
When neither gene in a genotype pair is dominant and neither gene is recessive the genes are said to be .?
Incomplete dominant alleles.
Can 2 blue eyed parents have brown eyed babies?
I don't know but happened to me It can happen if one parent actually has a gene for brown eyes but for some reason that gene is not expressed. This can possibly be because the gene is not switched on. The gene could be passed to the baby and get switched on in the baby. Much less likely, there could be a genetic mutation which occurred in the gamete or in the early embryo.
A child is diagnosed with a rare genetic disease neither parent has this disease how was the disorder inherited?
Recessive is carried by both parentsIn simplest terms, the disease is recessive, so two copies of the gene that cause it are necessary. Both parents have only one copy of the gene, so, they don't have it, but are carriers. A child gets half his or her genes from each parent. If the child gets the bad gene from each parent, the child will have the disease. There is a 25% chance of this happening with every child these parents have.
If one parent has beta thalassemia what are the chances the baby will inherit the condition?
If one parent is a carrier then the baby has a 50% chance of being born a carrier as well, but the baby will be healthy as the gene is recessive.
Can a type 0 baby have a ab father?
No. Neither parent can be AB blood type. Each parent must have at least one resessive gene for O blood type. Either parent could be type A or B or O.
Can a ab and o positive have a baby o positive?
No, Neither parent in this situation carries the B gene. The only possible blood types for offspring would be either A or O.
Can a parent with blue eyes and a parent with green eyes have a very blue eyed baby?
Yes, if they have a dominate blue gene.
Can O positive and A negative have baby?
yes
How big are baby tigers?
the same size as orange ones!! white cubs are born when one or both parent has the recessive white gene so even if a grandparent was white not the parent you could get a white cub.
Why is a baby the color it is when made by two different colored parents?
For example, if a baby is made by an African American parent and a Caucasian parent, the baby will almost always have a dark skin tone. The reason for this is because the gene for dark skin color is dominant over the gene for light tone skin.
How big are baby white tigers?
the same size as orange ones!! white cubs are born when one or both parent has the recessive white gene so even if a grandparent was white not the parent you could get a white cub.
Why can Cystic fibrosis be inherited even if neither parent has the disease?
Cystic Fibrosis is an example of a disease inherited as an autosomal recessive genetic disorder. Both parents of a baby who has Cystic Fibrosis have one abnormal recessive gene and one normal dominant gene and are therefore, Cystic Fibrosis carriers. Carriers are said to be heterozygous because they contain one normal copy of the gene and one abnormal copy. A baby who inherits cystic fibrosis has inherited the abnormal gene from both parents and is therefore said to be homozygous recessive.
What conclusion about your genotype is evident if one of your siblings but neither parent shows the recessive trait?
Both parents had the recessive gene.
Can an A-positive and a O-negative have a B-positivechild?
No. Neither parent has the B antigen. Only the O antigen can be "masked" by another; if A+ parent had the B gene they would be AB+, if O- parent had it they would be B-.
