What is a word that starts with an r that is the genetic material in a daughter cell not found in either parent?
recessive trait
Can a person be a carrier for a dominant genetic disorder?
Anyone can be a carrier of a recessive genetic disorder (as long as it is not associated with the sex chromosomes) no matter what their gender since "carrier" refers to an individual that is heterozygous for the recessive allele and therefore phenotypically normal. Specifically, sexlinked genetic disorders can be "carried" by a heterozygous female but males (having only one X chromosome) cannot. Males will either be free of the defective gene or be affected.
What is the genetic composition determining a trait?
Genotype is the genetic makeup of a trait.
Describe what genes are and explain what makes a disease genetic?
genes are what make up your DNA. each gene has two alleles, and whether those alleles are dominant or recessive determines what trait you get. Every trait has at least on gene coding for it, and some have more. a disease is genetic when there is a gene coding for it, as opposed to just a mutation or something environmental causing it.
Would a disease caused by exposure to chemicals be considered a genetic trait?
A genetic trait is passed on through the genes. Which means that disease from exposure to chemicals is not inherited.
When Mendell performed genetic crosses which trait vanished?
recessive
Dominant and recessive traits?
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.
A trait that is hidden?
The trait that is hidden is recessive trait.
A genetic factor that covers up another genetic factor is called?
A dominant trait is a genetic factor that blocks another genetic factor. A recessive trait is a genetic factor that is blocked by the presence of a dominant fact
What is the genetics chart?
a genetic chart shows a trait of two parents to show how much of their off spring would have that trait. the trait is dominate and recessive trait.
How are dominant trait and recessive trait the same?
They are both used to format your genetic make up.
An individual heterozygous for a trait and an individual homozygous recessive for the trait are crossed and produce many offspring?
The offspring has a 50% chance of the dominate trait (while being heteroygous) and a 50% chance of having the recessive trait ( homozygous recessive).
Why are your eyes blue?
Blue eyes are a recessive trait that is passed down by the parents to the child through their genes.
Is detached earlobes recessive or dominant?
Dominant. he has a homozygous genotype
A genetic trait which is present but unseen in an individual is called a trait?
Recessive For example, brown eyes (B) are dominant, blue eyes (b) are recessive. BB = brown Bb = brown bb = blue In the Bb genotype, the blue eyed gene is present, but the brown eyed gene is dominant, and show as the phenotype
How can a parent learn the risks of having a child with a genetic disorder?
A parent can learn the risks of having a child with a genetic disorder by looking at their own history. A genetic disorder is... da da da da! Genetic! so the traits of this disorder would be passed down through the generations. If both parents have family members with the trait or if the disorder is a dominant trait then there is a high chance of the disorder being passed down to the child. If the trait is recessive and only one parent has the genetic disorder in their family history then there are some pretty low chances of it being passed along to the child. Even if the trait is recessive, if both parents have the diorder in their history then there is about a 50% chance of the child having the disorder.
What does recessive mean in genetic term?
Recessive is the opposite of dominate, not as powerful of an influence on whether or not it will become the chosen trait on a punnett square.
