∙ 15y agoIt is the genetic gene that is not dominate and can be over taken by the dominate gene therefore, causing the offspring to show no genetic characteristics of that recessive gene.

What is a heterozygous indivisual who doesnt show a reccesive genetic disorder but who can pass a reccesive allele on to their offspring is called what?
Almost 100% sure that they're called carriers.
Dominant and recessive genes?
Dominant genes are shown for example as T recessive genes are shown as t if there is a dominant and recessive gene (Tt) then your child will get the dominant one this is called heterozygous. Meaning that they have two different genes for a trait such as curly hair and straight hair. There is also being homozygous (TT or tt) the only way your child could recieve a recessive gene such as left handednes, is if the two parents were carrying a recessive gene along with their dominant one or if they both were carrying two reccesive genes. the childs probable genotype can be explaind a lot better with a Punnet Square. I hope this wasn't too confusing.:-)
What are recessive traits?
There are two types of traits, recessive and dominant. One is more likely to appear in a following generation than the other. Say, one person with black hair is partners to someone with red hair. Black hair is a more dominant trait than red. Their kids will more likely have black, in following generations though you can still have someone with red hair pop up down the line because the gene is always there and because of its recessive nature it can go generations without coming up again. a reccesive trait is like; if your mom had blue eyes and your dad had brown eyes, you would probably have brown eyes because blue eyes is a reccesive trait
What is xp21 gene?
Dystrophin gene / Xp21 gene / DMD gene: Found at locus Xp21 of the X chromosome, this is why it's called the (Xp21 gene) It's the gene responsible for Duchenne muscular dystrophy(DMD) when mutated, this is why it's called (DMD gene)
Inserting working copies of a gene directly into the cells of a person with a genetic disorder is called what?
Gene TherapyGenetic disorders are caused by an abnormality in person's DNA.
What is an example of a reccesive gene?
In humans, the gene that codes for the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase is an expmple of a recessive gene
When both alleles of a gene are different what is the indivisual?
If one allel is dominant and the other is reccesive then the individual is said to be heterozygous. Sorry about the spelling.

What is a purebread organism?
I think that the organism is reccesive that's why it's called a purebread!!!!!!!
What is a kind of trait that seemed tio vanish in the offspring produced in mendels first experiment?
reccesive
What does reccesive trait mean?
A recessive trait is one that will only be expressed when in the presence of two recessive alleles.

What do F1 in genetics?
Genotype is a same gene type that is carried by a parent to offspring. Phenotype is appearance, lets say a parent has big ears and the child inherit the big ears.

What gene controls the expression of the D1x gene in vertebrates?
The HOX gene or the master gene of D1x
