A recessive gene is one that does not show outwardly unless the organism has two copies of it. If you have only one copy of a recessive gene, your appearance is that of the dominant gene. Here are some sentences.
The color of one's eyes are supposedly determined by a recessive gene.
The boys genotype consisted of two recessive genes coding for brown hair.
A recessive gene is a gene that does not express itself in the presence of a dominant gene of the same trait. When an individual inherits two recessive genes for a trait, the recessive gene will be expressed.
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.
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:)
recessive.
A gene that can be masked by another gene is referred to as a recessive gene. This means that the trait associated with the recessive gene is expressed only when two copies of the gene are present.
A recessive gene will not display its trait in the presence of a dominant trait. A recessive gene only expresses its trait when paired with another copy of the same recessive gene.
Some traits are dominant and others are receptive. The gene for blue eyes is recessive and the gene for brown eyes is dominant.
You can be a carrier of a recessive gene as part of your genotype.
The weaker of two genes is called the recessive gene. In the presence of a dominant gene, the recessive gene is not expressed in the organism's phenotype.
The gene pair is referred to as homozygous recessive. This means that both copies of the gene are recessive, resulting in the expression of the recessive trait.
