How is a recessive allele from a dominant allele?

its different because adominant allele is in charge


Why can a person have one copy of the CF allele and be perfectly normal?

CF is recessive, and as such, the gene for non-CF is dominant over this gene. The CF gene will only be expressed in the phenotype and as a characteristic if the person has two of the recessive alleles.


An individual who has one copy of a recessive autosomal allele that causes disease in the homozygous condition?

Is a carrier of that disease. Aa a being the recessive gene


Gaucher disease is caused by what genetic disorder?

Gaucher disease has a recessive pattern of inheritance, meaning that a person must inherit a copy of the defective gene from both parents in order to have the disease.


Is a person who is homozygous recessive for a recessive genetic disese a carrier?

As long as a persons genotype consists of at least one recessive gene, they can pass it on to offspring to give them the disease, which makes them a carrier. Since this persons genes are both recessive, it is definite that they will pass on the recessive gene.

. Is a person who is homozygous recessive for a recessive genetic disease a carrier?

No, because he or she cannot pass the gene on to his or her offspring (because he or she does not have a copy of the gene).

Is it possible to have a dominate recessive trait?

no, because dominant is different from recessive, its impossible to have a dominant-recessive trait because the dominant is when only one copy of the gene is present, while in the recessive a trait that must be contributed by both parents in order to appear in the offspring, in short the dominant is for single parent, while in the recessive is a product of two parents.

Is cystic fibrosis controlled by a dominant allele or by a recessive allele?

It is controlled by a recessive allele. The gene encodes a chloride ion channel that is required to make sweat, mucus and a few other things. One copy of the gene is sufficient to prevent cystic fibrosis, and it is only when both copies are defective that the person would have the disease and show symptoms.


What are domiant traits?

A dominant trait is a dominant phenotype in individuals who have one copy of an allele, which can come from just one parent. Dominant alleles do not physically dominate or repress recessive alleles. Whether an allele is dominant or recessive depends on the particulars of the proteins they code for.


What is a good sentence for recessive gene?

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.Red hair is caused by a recessive gene.The baby had two recessive genes for Tay-Sachs disease, and did not live.You cannot tell if someone has a recessive gene just by looking at them.


Is the extra copy of Chromosome 21 that causes Down syndrome dominant or recessive?
