No, it doesn't necessarily occur just because it's present in the family. There are more factors involved in schizophrenia than a specific gene. Other mental/emotional symptoms may exist in the family because of the presence of a genetic type but full blown schizophrenia is unlikely.

A trait which always appears when it is present is called what kind of trait?
It is called a dominant trait
Trait of an organism that can be masked by the dominant by the dominant form of a trait?
A trait that masks another trait is called dominant, or a dominant trait.
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.
What describes a trait that is covered over or dominated by another form of the trait and seems to disappear?
The trait that is being masked is recessive, and the trait that is doing the masking is dominant.
Is schizophrenia autosomal recessive or dominant?
Schizophrenia is only partially genetic, and therefore is neither recessive nor dominant.
What is a trait that masks a trait called?
A trait that masks another trait is called a dominant trait. This means that when an organism carries both dominant and recessive alleles for a particular gene, only the dominant trait will be expressed in the phenotype.
The trait observed in the first generation when parents that have different traits are bred?
A dominant trait.
The form of a trait that appears to mask another form the same trait is called what?
Dominant Trait
What is a trait that is overridden by another trait?
Dominant- Covers up another form of a trait. Recessive- Is covered up by a dominant trait.
A trait that appears or is expressed in the f1 generation is what?
the dominant trait
Not expressed when the dominant form of a trait is present?
The recessive trait isn't present when the dominant form of the trait is there. Whenever a trait is dominant trait is present it ALWAYS takes over the recessive one. the law of Dominance
What does it mean to have a dominant trait?
In genetics, a trait is considered dominant when it determines a phenotype over a recessive trait. For example, AA is crossed with AA to make Aa, Aa, Aa, and Aa. If "A" is the dominant trait and "a" is the recessive trait, then since this cross produces heterozygous progeny, they will all show the dominant phenotype. A dominant trait is just how it sounds, it dominates over recessive traits when they are both present.
