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 is the difference between homzyguos and heterozyous?
Homozygous recessive: is when the genes are both recessive Homozygous dominant: is when the genes are both dominant (traits show) Heterozygous dominant: is when one gene is dominant and one is recessive (traits show) Heterozygous recessive: is the same as heterozygous dominant but the dominant genes are inactive
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.
What controls the characteristics of an organism?
Whether the allele is dominant or recessive.
What symbols do scientists use represent dominant and recessive genes?
Usually, you would use capital letters for dominant traits (A), and lowercase for recessive (a)
What are chromosomes that contain genes which code for the same traits?
Yes they do, but these genes may be both dominant, both recessive or one dominant and its counterpart on another chromosome recessive.
Traits determined by recessive genes located on the x chromosomes are said to be?
Some traits are determined by recessive genes on the X chromosomes. Many times these are genetic disorders and are called recessive genes.
What happens to tomatoes with recessive genes?
That will depend on what traits those genes control.
What is the difference between homzyguos and heterozyous?

What are traits that follow simple dominance and recessive inheritance called?
Genes
Traits that come from parent genes are called what which is 9 letters?
recessive
What factor controls a trait?
A person's genes are what control what traits. Genes can either be recessive or dominant and the combination of many different genes are what make up different traits.
How does a gene affect the traits of himan?
Recessive and dominant genes are the material that carries the traits of human beings. Traits of humans such as eye and hair color are determined by the combination of genes from your parents.
Traits that typically will only be expressed in offspring if they inherit two copies of the genes for that trait is called what?
recessive traits
Dominant traits are represented by a lower case letter and recessive traits are represented by an upper case letter?
No. Dominant traits are uppercase and recessive traits are lowercase.
What traits seems to disappear when two different genes for same trait are present?
Recessive
What is a recesive trait?
A recessive trait is one that is not always seen. Recessive traits can be carried in a person's genes without appearing in that person.
