How many copies of a recessive gene does it take to overpower a dominant gene?
It takes 8 copies of a recessive gene to overpeower dominant gene
A gene is recessive when?
Most genes have two copies of each gene with dominant gene "trumping" the recessive one. The gene is recessive because it is said not to do much of anything unless paired with another recessive gene, but if paired with a dominant gene, the dominant gene wins.
Can a recessive gene be hidden from a dominant?
The dominant gene will always "cover up" the recessive gene, although there are instances of codominance, in which both phenotypes will be displayed, because one gene is not completely dominant over the other. There is also what is called 'incomplete dominance', when the actual phenotype is somewhere between the two.
Which form of a gene pair is expressed when both dominant and recessive are present?
apples
When one gene expresses itself over another the former gene is said to be the DNA?
The gene that expresses itself over the other is Dominant. The former gene is recessive.
How many copies of a recessive gene does it take to overpower a dominant gene?
It takes 8 copies of a recessive gene to overpeower dominant gene
What gene won't display its trait in the prescience of a dominate trait?
The recessive form of a gene, called a recessive allele, will not be expressed in the presence of the dominant form of the gene, called a dominant allele.
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
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 are two forms that a gene or allele may take?
A gene or allele may take a dominant form, or a recessive form. If the allele is recessive, the characteristic which is coded for will be exhibited only if both the gene from the male and the gene from the female is recessive. Only one copy of a dominant allele is required to cause expression of the dominant characteristic
Genes that are only seen when paired with a recessive gene?
if u have a recessive gene with a recessive gene then u can see the recessive gene but if you have a dominant gene with a recessive gene you can only see the dominant gene hope that helps:)
What is an organism that has a dominant and a recessive copy of a gene?
dogs have a dominant and a recessive copy of a gene

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.
