What combinations of alleles could produce a trait controlled by a recessive alleles?
recessive + recessive or tt
What is the result of two recessive alleles joined?
Two recessive alleles (homozygous) will result in the recessive trait being expressed as a phenotype.
How dominant and recessive alleles are represented in a Punnett Square?
Dominant alleles are written in upper case (i.e, 'A'), while recessive alleles are lower case (i.e, 'a')
What is the difference between a herezygous and a homozygous?
"Heterozygous" and "homozygous" are terms that refer to alleles, which, in genetics determine what trait, from which parent, will appear in the offspring. Alleles can be either Dominant or Recessive. Every organism has two alleles, which can both be dominant, both recessive, or one of each.So,If an organism heterozygous, it has one recessive and one dominant allele.If an organism is homozygous then both of its alleles are the same; you need to specify if they are homozygous recessive (both alleles are recessive) or homozygous dominant (both alleles are dominant).
Why are recessive alleles not always expressed as the phenotype?
recessive alleles get masked to show the difference in a dominant gene and a recessive gene. the dominate genes masks the recessive genes to show that the dominate gene is more dominate or more likely to be the outcome than the reccessive gene but the masked gene is not always recessive.
An organism with two different alleles for a single trait is said to be heterozygous?
A heterozygous is a hybrid of genes. It has a dominant and recessive gene. The dominant gene covers over the recessive trait, making the individual have the dominant trait. (trait are alleles...) or apex ans:two
Which alleles is the recessive alleles?
recessive alleles are the ones with small letters, for example in Rr, the recessive is the r.
What combinations of alleles could produce a trait controlled by a recessive alleles?
recessive + recessive or tt
How are dominant and recessive alleles are represented in a punnet square?
Dominant alleles are shown by a capital letter and recessive alleles are lowercase letters.
What type of alleles mask recessive alleles?
Dominant alleles :-)
What is another name for heterozygous?
Another way to express something is heterozygous is to say it has dual alleles. There is a dominant and recessive allele. Alleles determine which traits something will have. Normally this is expressed in a single allele.
What can be dominant or recessive?
Alleles can be dominant or recessive
Why a plant with yellow pods can never be a hybrid?
Yellow pods are a recessive trait and for this type of trait to show in the phenotype, both alleles have to be recessive. If there was a recessive allele (yellow) and a dominant allele(green) as it shows in hybrid pods, then the dominant allele would be the one shown and the pod would be green.
How are Dominant and recessive alleles are represented in Punnet Square?
Dominant alleles are shown by a capital letter and recessive alleles are lowercase letters.
What is the result of two recessive alleles joined?
Two recessive alleles (homozygous) will result in the recessive trait being expressed as a phenotype.
What is gene pair consists of two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles?
A gene pair that consists of 2 dominant or 2 recessive alleles is considered homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive.
How dominant and recessive alleles are represented in a Punnett Square?
Dominant alleles are written in upper case (i.e, 'A'), while recessive alleles are lower case (i.e, 'a')
