Is arm folding left over right a dominate trait or recessive?
recessive
Why are recessive alleles not always expressed as the phenotype?
recessive alleles get masked to show the difference in a dominant gene and a recessive gene. the dominate genes masks the recessive genes to show that the dominate gene is more dominate or more likely to be the outcome than the reccessive gene but the masked gene is not always recessive.
Which are genes that keep others from showing their trait called?
Recessive traits are shadowed by Dominant genes. In other words, the Dominant gene covers the Recessive.
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.
How is a recessive allele selected for in a population?
That depends on what the allele codes for, and the natural selection pressured on them. for example: say we have a population of rabbits with Bb genes, where the B allele codes for a dominate black trait and b codes for a recessive brown trait. If the landscape is black and the rabbits need to blend in to avoid predators then the dominate black fur color is selected over generations. If the landscape is brown then the recessive trait will be selected for. In the dominantly selected group the recessive gene could still exist, just covered up the dominate gene phenotypically (they can be Bb or BB genotypes). In the recessively-selected group only the recessive gene is left (bb genotypes only).
Is arm folding left over right a dominate trait or recessive?
recessive
How are dominant and recessive genes related?
Dominate them. Recessive alleles do not show in your phenotype unless you have two of the same recessive allele. But if you inherit one dominant and one recessive, it is the dominant that always shows in your phenotype.
Are alleles dominant or recessive?
Alleles are neither entirely recessive nor entirely dominate. An allele is any one of a number of alternative forms of the same gene on a chromosome.For example: say a flower only blooms either red or white flowers. There is a different allele for each color-- a red allele and a white allele. Now, one color may be dominate over the other recessive gene. For example, if the red color was dominate and the white color was recessive, then those certain alleles would be dominate and recessive, respectively. But alleles in general cannot be either recessive or dominate. It depends on the gene and it depends on the trait.
What genes are recessive traits?
These traits are called dominant traits. They will overcome the recessive gene and the dominant trait will be expressed. A recessive gene needs two alleles present in its genotype to be expressed.
What does dominate mean?
To dominate means being in a position of power & authority over others.
Why are recessive alleles not always expressed as the phenotype?
recessive alleles get masked to show the difference in a dominant gene and a recessive gene. the dominate genes masks the recessive genes to show that the dominate gene is more dominate or more likely to be the outcome than the reccessive gene but the masked gene is not always recessive.
Can a man who has brown eyes and whose both parents have brown eyes produce a blue eyed child if his wife has blue eyes?
yes, if the man with brown eyes had a recessive blue trait. his parents would have to both have the recessive trait as well. the parents with dominate brown (B) with recessive blue (b) eye color traits would create a chart of possible outcomes for their child: B b B bb Bb b Bb bb if the man came out Bb (dominate brown with recessive blue) and had a wife with bb (the only way to have blue eyes is to have two recessive blue traits because if a pair of traits has a Brown then the brwn color will automatically dominate over the blue) the man and the wife will make an eye color chart like this: B b b Bb bb b Bb bb there is a 50/50 chance the child will have blue eyes. if the child has the bb trait then it will have blue eyes.
What happens when an allele is dominate or recessive?
Well, a dominant allele carries dominant traits from parents to offspring. An example of a dominant trait is brown hair and brown eyes because these traits are most likely to show up on a human than a recessive allele. A recessive allele may carry a recessive trait from parents to offspring such as blonde hair and blue eyes, these are uncommon because they are recessive traits.
Why do some traits skip a generation?
I like puppies :) Traits 'skip' generations precisely because most traits are not accounted for by a single gene, but by their combination with other genes. There is no brown hair gene, or blue eye gene. These traits may be controlled by recessive genes, so they seem to skip a generation from grandparent to you. For example, if a trait is produced by a recessive gene, one of your parents may be a carrier but not possess the trait (because she inherited a dominant gene that overrode the recessive one). However, when her genes were recombined to produce the ovum from which you grew, and when that combined with your father's DNA, the trait may resurface.
Is dominate is a noun?
"Dominate" is not a noun. It is a verb that means to have control or power over someone or something.
How are recessive and genes related?
If you are talking about traits, dominant traits and recessive traits both have alleles. Dominant traits are alleles that cover up the expression of other alleles. One dominant allele with one recessive allele makes a dominant trait. Two dominant alleles together also make a dominant trate. Recessive traits are alleles that are only expressed when there is no dominant trait to cover them up. Two recessive alleles make a recessive trait. Traits can be passed over to the next generation. Two alleles together make a genotype, which is the inherited combination of alleles. Alleles: different versions of the same gene. Heredity: determined by genes. Genes: piece of DNA that shows the cell how to make a protein it needs.
