Is a dominant trait always dominant?

No, sometimes there are instances of "codominance", where two dominant traits are expressed equally. This occurs in the human body for example, with A and B type blood. An A parent and a B parent, can produce an AB type child. Both types A and B are dominant to O type blood, however they can coexist together.

What will always hide a recessive trait?

A dominant trait will always hide a recessive trait in an individual's phenotype because the dominant allele is expressed over the recessive allele in the presence of both alleles.


When does a recessive trait dominant over a dominant trait?

A recessive trait cannot be dominant over a dominant trait. Dominant traits are always expressed over recessive traits in heterozygous individuals because they mask the expression of the recessive trait.

Not expressed when the dominant form of a trait is present?

Recessive traits are not expressed when the dominant form is present. This is because the dominant allele masks the expression of the recessive allele in the heterozygous condition. Only when an individual has two copies of the recessive allele will the recessive trait be expressed.


Are recessive traits are always shown in an organism offspring?

No, a recessive trait will only show in the offspring if there is no dominant allele masking it. The trait that will always show in the offspring is the dominant allele, provided one parent was homozygous for it.


Are Recessive traits always shown in an organism's offspring?

No, a recessive trait will only show in the offspring if there is no dominant allele masking it. The trait that will always show in the offspring is the dominant allele, provided one parent was homozygous for it.


What is a dominate trait?

Dominant trait is a genetics term. A dominant trait is one which will be expressed if one of the parents has the gene for that trait. A recessive trait is one that will be expressed only if both parents carry the trait.
