Best Answer

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.

If the sickle cell trait were a dominant trait rather than a recessive one could it still be balanced polymorphism?

the polymorphism is only balanced when the dominate trait is recessive in the cell which came from the daughter cell after division, hence the dominate characteristics.

What are examples of recessive traits and dominant traits?

That's strictly a human view point. In fact there is no such difference, you just have two different proteins (one from each gene) which have behaviors relative to each other. How we (us, people) interpret the somatic result of the competition between them is labeled "dominant or recessive". For example - assume one form is totally non functional, then the somatic result would be classed as recessive.


How do you spell recesive?

The correct spelling is recessive (refers to non-dominant gene).

What is recesive ginetic?

Blue or green eyes. To produce a light eyed child the parents must have the recessive genes.


If both parents are a positive can the child be a negative?

yes. because of recessive genes. recesive genes are traits that will not be shown if the dominant gene for that trait is present. every person has at least two alleles(forms of traits) for each trait that is shown. One you see and the other you may not. For example, two parents may have brown eyes, but if they have a child that has blue eyes then you know that the parents must have carried the recessive gene. this is possible because the brown eye allele is dominant and the blue eye allele is recessive. Even though you did not see the blue eye trait in either of the parents it was still present.


What are some recesive genes?

Blue eyes, green eyes, and any but brown because brown eyes are dominant traits.
