Is a dominant or recessive variant of a particular gene?

A dominant variant of a gene is expressed when only one copy of the variant is present, masking the recessive variant. In contrast, a recessive variant is expressed only when two copies of the variant are present.


Is a dominant or recessive variant of a particualar gene?

an allele


What is dominant recessive?

There is dominant and there is recessive. There is no dominant recessive. A dominant gene will always be expressed when present, such as in the homozygous dominant genotype (RR), or heterozygous genotype (Rr). A recessive allele is only expressed when the genotype is homozygous recessive (rr).


Genes that are only seen when paired with a recessive gene?

if u have a recessive gene with a recessive gene then u can see the recessive gene but if you have a dominant gene with a recessive gene you can only see the dominant gene hope that helps:)


What is an organism that has a dominant and a recessive copy of a gene?

dogs have a dominant and a recessive copy of a gene


What gene will exhibit its traits even in a prensesce of a recessive gene?

A dominant gene will exhibit its traits even in the presence of a recessive gene. This is because the dominant gene masks the expression of the recessive gene when present in the same individual.


A plant that is hybrid for a trait is?

Has one dominant and one recessive gene for that particular trait.


Is a situation in which a dominant allele completely masks a recessive allele for a gene.?

If you have 2 dominant alleles, the gene will be dominant, if you have 2 recessive alleles, the gene will be recessive. But if you have 1 recessive and 1 dominant, the Dominant allele will mask the recessive one.


How many copies of a recessive gene does it take to overpower a dominant gene?

It takes 8 copies of a recessive gene to overpeower dominant gene


A gene is recessive when?

Most genes have two copies of each gene with dominant gene "trumping" the recessive one. The gene is recessive because it is said not to do much of anything unless paired with another recessive gene, but if paired with a dominant gene, the dominant gene wins.


Can two dominant genes equal a recessive gene?

it could but then u would be deformed but usually it cant


Can a recissive gene be dominant?

No, a recessive gene cannot be dominant. In genetics, dominant genes are expressed over recessive genes when present in an individual's genotype. This means that if a gene is recessive, it will only be expressed if an individual inherits two copies of that specific recessive gene.
