Do all versions of each gene always get expressed in an organism?

No, not all versions of each gene are always expressed in an organism. Gene expression can be regulated by various mechanisms, resulting in only certain versions or alleles of a gene being expressed under specific conditions or in specific cell types. This regulation ensures that the organism can respond to its environment and develop properly.


Which parts of a gene are expressed as protein?

Coding sequences of a gene are expressed as protein


What does recessive mean as it relates to genes?

A recessive gene is one that is only expressed if an individual has two copies of that gene. This means that the trait associated with the recessive gene is not visible unless an individual inherits two copies, one from each parent. If an individual inherits only one copy of a recessive gene, the dominant gene will be expressed instead.


What form is a gene that is always expressed if present?

This is the dominate gene, and is normally represent by a capital letter. Then gene which is not expressed is the recessive gene and is represented by a lower case letter. For example the if someone had expressed a brown eyed phenotype and did not carry the gene for blue eyes it be represented as BB (B standing for Brown). If they expressed the brown eye phenotype and also carried the gene for blue eyes it would be represented as Bb (b does not stand for blue it stands for NOT BROWN) While if someone had blue eyes it would be represented as bb


What is recessive gene and dominant gene?

A dominant gene is always expressed if present, and the recessive gene is only expressed with the homozygous recessive genotype. For example, if the dominant gene is red (represented by the letter R) and the recessive gene is white (represented by the letter r), then a homozygous dominant organism's genotype will be RR, and its phenotype will be red. If the organism is homozygous recessive, then the genotype will be rr and the phenotype will be white. If the organism is heterozygous, then the genotype will be Rr, and the organism will be red.

What gene that is always expressed and will produce a trait?

The gene that is always expressed and will produces a trait is a genetic statistic. This statistic is what is created when the gene is dominant.

No. If a gene is expressed, it is turned on.

An expressed gene is one that what?

a gene being expressed means it is shown, for example if you have the gene for brown eyes and the gene for blue eyes, only one can be expressed. if you have brown eyes that gene is expressed, if not the blue-eye gene is expressed.


If a mouse inherits a dominant gene for a long tail and a recessive gene for a short tail what tail length will the mouse have?

whatever type of tail it wants to.Answer: When a dominant gene is present, it will always be expressed. The only time a recessive gene is expressed is when no dominant gene is present. Therefore, the mouse in question will have a long tail.


What does it mean for a gene to be off?

How is a gene not expressed


What is dominant in biology mean?

In genetics it refers to a gene that will always be expressed when present. In behavioral Biology dominance refers to members of a population that are basically in charge.
