Is hemophilia A inherited as a recessive or dominant trait?
Hemophilia A is inherited as a recessive trait.
What is a trait that is expressed even if only one gene for that form of the trait is inherited?
It is a dominant trait. You only need one gene of a dominant trait for that trait to be expressed. You need two copies of the recessive trait in order for the trait to be expressed.
What is an individual who has inherited a factor for a trait?
An individual who has inherited a factor for a trait is a carrier of that trait. They may or may not exhibit the trait themselves, as it depends on whether the inherited factor is dominant or recessive.
Characteristic that is inherited that can be either dominant or recessive?
Eye color is an example of a characteristic that can be inherited as either dominant or recessive. Factors such as skin tone, hair color, and height can also be inherited in a similar manner.
When a trait has more than two alleles is that trait inherited?
If one parent has a dominant trait and and another parent has a recessive trait, then the recessive trait gets hidden while the dominant trait gets shown.
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.
How does a dominant trait affect the phenotype of an organism?
If the the trait is controlled by only one allele and the allele is completely dominant then once inherited the offspring with exhibit that phenotype
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.
When two recessive alleles are inherited the trait is observed?
When two recessive alleles are inherited, the trait associated with those alleles is observed because there is no dominant allele to mask its expression. This results in the individual displaying the recessive trait.
How does a person inherit hemophilia and is it dominant or recessive?
It is a sex-linked recessive trait inherited from the mother.
The stronger of the two traits which show up in an organism is called a?
dominant trait. It is more likely to be expressed in the phenotype of an organism when it is inherited with a recessive trait.
Why is tongue folding dominant?
The ability to fold the tongue is not necessarily a dominant genetic trait. It is largely determined by the specific combination of genes inherited from both parents, known as a polygenic trait. Some people may have inherited a combination of genes that makes tongue folding easier for them, while others may not have this trait even if their parents do.
