Want this question answered?
A living thing with a dominant and a recessive gene for a trait is heterozygous. This individual will display the dominant phenotype for that trait but may have offspring that display the recessive trait.
Heterozygous
i mean to say what is a recessive trait not what is recessive trait sorry
The phenotype can tell the genotype when the characteristic is recessive and is displayed in the individual.
recessive trait
recessive
The offspring has a 50% chance of the dominate trait (while being heteroygous) and a 50% chance of having the recessive trait ( homozygous recessive).
recessive trait only appear when an individual is homozygous recessive, both alleles must code for the recessive trait
A living thing with a dominant and a recessive gene for a trait is heterozygous. This individual will display the dominant phenotype for that trait but may have offspring that display the recessive trait.
A recessive trait will be expressed when there is no dominant allele in the genotype for that trait. In a Mendelian trait, where one gene with one dominant and one recessive allele governs a trait, a recessive trait will be expressed when the individual's genotype for that trait is homozygous recessive, meaning that both of the individual's alleles for that trait are recessive.
recessive
If they are expressing the trait, 100%, as their genotypes would be, rr X rr If they both carry the trait and it is dominated, Rr X Rr, then the probability would be, 25% of their child expressing the trait.
The trait that is hidden is recessive trait.
The offspring would have a 50% chance of being heterozygous and showing the dominant trait and a 50% chance of being homozygous for the recessive trait.
of two different phenotypes
Homozygous recessive
Homozygous
