polydactyly is a dominant trait ( surprisingly)..but by process of selective marriage ( i am 4geting d term.. but most possibly its eugenics) it has been repressed such dat it is nt usualy seen compared 2 pentadactyly

∙ 16y agopolydactyl is doninat in humans because it is an autosomal trait.

∙ 11y agoYes, it's a dominant trait so if at least one of your parents had it you most likely will have it
Wiki User
∙ 7y agoIt is dominant but the frequency of the allele within any given population is very small so it only appears as though it is a recessive trait.

What is dominant recessive?
There is dominant and there is recessive. There is no dominant recessive. A dominant gene will always be expressed when present, such as in the homozygous dominant genotype (RR), or heterozygous genotype (Rr). A recessive allele is only expressed when the genotype is homozygous recessive (rr).
Is Polydactyly autosomal or sex-linked?
autosomal dominant
Is vulcan dominant or recessive?
The Vulcan is the dominant expression.The earthling sign is recessive.
Which form of gene pair is expressed when both dominant and recessive are present?
If the gene is governed by a dominant and recessive allele, then if the dominant allele is present, the dominant trait will be expressed. If both alleles are recessive, then the recessive trait will be expressed.
What is the different between dominant and recessive?
Dominant trait is the one which is expressed when the homologous pair of genes controlling it are either homozygous or Hetrozygous dominant; on the other hand recessive trait has both genes to be homozygous recessive. in fact trait is controlled by the form of genes. Dominant gene expresses even when it is in the company of recessive gene. However recessive gene expresses only when in company of recessive gene
Is polydactyly a recessive or domanant trait?
dominant
Is having five fingers or toes a recessive genetic trait?
Yes, because Polydactyly is a dominant allele.
Is polydactyly common in men or women?
Polydactyly is more common in men, because it is a genetic disorder. Because females have 2 X chromosomes, a recessive trait passed down on one will be covered by the dominant trait on their other X chromosome for no polydactyly. Males though, have an X and Y chromosome which means that that the Y chromosome, carrying no trait for polydactyly, will not affect an X chromosome with the allele for polydactyly. Hence, polydactyly is found in men more than women.
What can be dominant or recessive?
Alleles can be dominant or recessive
What is dominant recessive?
There is dominant and there is recessive. There is no dominant recessive. A dominant gene will always be expressed when present, such as in the homozygous dominant genotype (RR), or heterozygous genotype (Rr). A recessive allele is only expressed when the genotype is homozygous recessive (rr).
Is melanoma dominant or recessive?
is malignant melanoma dominant or recessive
What is the difference dominant and recessive trait?
Dominant traits are the traits that mask the recessive traits. The dominant traits are stronger than recessive!
Can scans cause polydactyly?
No. Polydactyly is purely an autosomal dominant genetic disorder and cannot be caused by any environmental stress.
Is Polydactyly autosomal or sex-linked?
autosomal dominant
Is a widows peak dominant or recessive?
Dominant definitely not dominant. It is recessive objectively and subjectively and unequivocally.
Is a situation in which a dominant allele completely masks a recessive allele for a gene.?
If you have 2 dominant alleles, the gene will be dominant, if you have 2 recessive alleles, the gene will be recessive. But if you have 1 recessive and 1 dominant, the Dominant allele will mask the recessive one.
How do you xxplain dominant and recessive?
Recessive
