Which alleles is the recessive alleles?
Recessive alleles are alleles that are masked or overshadowed by dominant alleles. In a heterozygous genotype, the recessive allele does not show its effects. Only in a homozygous recessive genotype does the recessive allele manifest its trait.
What combinations of alleles could produce a trait controlled by a recessive alleles?
recessive + recessive or tt
What is the result of two recessive alleles joined?
When two recessive alleles are joined together in an individual, the individual will display the recessive trait associated with those alleles. This is because recessive alleles only express themselves when a dominant allele is not present.
What type of alleles mask recessive alleles?
Dominant alleles :-)
What can be dominant or recessive?
Alleles can be dominant or recessive
Using the terms dominant recessive explain the difference between genotype and phenotype?
No, I think you have your terms confused.The terms "dominant" and "recessive" are applied to alleles of a genotype. A genotype is an expression (using upper- and lower-case letters) that shows what alleles an organism has for a particular locus. The two alleles (in most cases) inherited (one from mother and one from father) can either be dominant or recessive. The recessive allele is not fully expressed in the presence of the dominant allele and is only expressed when there are two recessive alleles. The genotype could be called "recessive" I suppose if the genotype is homozygous recessive. But remember that two recessive alleles as a genotype is only one possibility - in which case you can't say the "genotype is recessive".The phenotype is dependent on the genotype. If present, the dominant alleles (in simple Mendelian genetics) will determine the phenotype - what the organism's trait or characteristic is. The phenotype will never be what is coded by the recessive allele unless the genotype is two recessive alleles.
How are Dominant and recessive alleles are represented in Punnet Square?
Dominant alleles are shown by a capital letter and recessive alleles are lowercase letters.
How are dominant and recessive alleles are represented in a punnet square?
Dominant alleles are shown by a capital letter and recessive alleles are lowercase letters.
What are the two terms for having matching alleles for a certain trait?
The two terms for having matching alleles for a certain trait are "homozygous dominant" (two dominant alleles) and "homozygous recessive" (two recessive alleles).
Which genetic concepts best explain the fact that hybrid parents can produce offspring with recessive phenotypes?
The concept of recessive alleles and the principle of segregation during gamete formation can explain how hybrid parents carrying a recessive allele can produce offspring with recessive phenotypes. When the alleles for a specific trait segregate during gamete formation, a recessive allele from each parent can combine in the offspring, resulting in the expression of the recessive phenotype.
What is gene pair consists of two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles?
A gene pair that consists of 2 dominant or 2 recessive alleles is considered homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive.
How dominant and recessive alleles are represented in a Punnett Square?
Dominant alleles are written in upper case (i.e, 'A'), while recessive alleles are lower case (i.e, 'a')
