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.
A trait that always appears when it is present is called an obligate trait. This means that the trait is consistently expressed whenever the underlying genetic or environmental conditions are present.
Mendel called the trait that was always expressed the dominant 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.
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.
Yes
Dominant trait
No, It is not possible. The trait Tall is always dominant over dwarf.
The gene that is always expressed and will produces a trait is a genetic statistic. This statistic is what is created when the gene is dominant.
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.
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.
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.
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.
