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
Comapre and contrast dominant and recessive traits?
Dominant traits only require one allele to be present in order for the trait to be expressed, while recessive traits must have both alleles present in order for the trait to be expressed.
Can a recessive gene be hidden from a dominant?
The dominant gene will always "cover up" the recessive gene, although there are instances of codominance, in which both phenotypes will be displayed, because one gene is not completely dominant over the other. There is also what is called 'incomplete dominance', when the actual phenotype is somewhere between the two.
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 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 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.
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
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.
What are the two types of traits?
I think it is Dominant and recessive.
Trait of an organism that can be masked by the dominant by the dominant form of a trait?
A trait that masks another trait is called dominant, or a dominant trait.
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.
