Why a student inherited a recessive phenotype of a particular characteristic even both the parent are phenotypically dominant for the characteristic?

May be the parents are heterozygous.So, the percentage for the students to inherit a recessive phenotype from the parents is 25%.


How come there are no carriers in genetic diseases caused by dominant alleles?

If carried on a dominant allele, you either inherit it- and have the disease- or you don't- and do not have the disease, nor the gene that causes it. If you don't have the gene, you can not pass it to your offspring.


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.


How many alleles does an offspring inherit?

Where the alleles for a given trait are inherit from?

The alleles for a given trait are inherited from an individual's parents.


What is a Co-dominant alleles disorder?

One example is Huntington's Disease. With a recessive genetic disorder, to develop the disorder, you must inherit the gene from BOTH parents (odds, 1 in 4). With a dominant gene disorder, if you inherit the gene from ONE parent, you will develop that disorder (odds- 1 in 2).


Where do sexually reproducing organisms inherit their alleles from?

From their parents.


What controls the trait children inherit?

the alleles from the parents


Can two O neg people have an A plus baby?

NO. The alleles that lead to "O-type" blood are recessive to the alleles that lead to "A-type" blood and the child would have to inherit this "A" from one of his/her parents. Given that both parents are "O", there is nobody to inherit the "A" from. (This issue also presents with the exclusive RH- in the parents and RH+ in the child, because RH+ is dominant over the recessive RH-.)


How would a baby change if one parent was homozygous dominant for all the traits and the other parent was heterozygous?

If one parent is homozygous dominant for all traits (carrying two dominant alleles for each trait), and the other parent is heterozygous (carrying one dominant and one recessive allele for each trait), there would be a 100% chance that the baby would inherit the dominant alleles from the homozygous dominant parent. Therefore, the baby would also be heterozygous for all the traits, carrying one dominant and one recessive allele for each trait.
