∙ 12y agoDominant traits will almost always overpower recessive traits. Recessive traits are the underdog and usually lose to the dominant trait. When learning about traits, one will usually see abbreviations called genotypes. to show them such as AA, Aa, and aa. The AA(dominant) and aa(recessive) are homozygous because they have the same type of letters. The Aa is heterozygous because it has one type of gene which is recessive. The capital letters represent dominant traits, while the lower case letters represent the recessive traits. The only time the recessive trait wins is when the aa is used. The dominant trait will is used in Aa because the capital letter(dominant gene) overpowers the lowercase letter(recessive gene).

What is arecessive trait?
i mean to say what is a recessive trait not what is recessive trait sorry
What is a trait called?
recessive trait
Why are two recessive alleles needed for a recesssive trait to be shown?
bcoz in case of one dominant and one recessive, dominant allele will express its characters and suppresses the recessive ones. so for the expression of recessive characters both allele should be recessive.
A living thing with a dominant and recessive gene for a trait?
A living thing with a dominant and a recessive gene for a trait is heterozygous. This individual will display the dominant phenotype for that trait but may have offspring that display the recessive trait.
What is the only way a recessive trait will be expressed?
Breed/use only organisms showing the recessive trait for starters. If one of the parents or progenitor lines show the dominant trait then don't use their offspring. If the offspring of one of the oranisims show the dominant trait then remove both the parent of this offspring and this offspring showing the dominant trait from your program.
Can a human pedigree be used to detect a recessive trait?
Yes, a human pedigree can be used to detect a recessive trait.
A trait that is hidden?
The trait that is hidden is recessive trait.
In human brown eyes (B) is a dominant trait and blue (b) , recessive trait?
Not my answer
What is an observable trait of an organism that can mask a recessive trait?
The observable characteristic are called the genotype and any dominant trait can mask the recessive. An example would be Black Angus cattle can actually carry a red recessive trait because black is the dominant trait in cattle breeding
In a hybrid individual the trait that is covered and not expressed is the what trait?
recessive
What is difference between a dominant trait and a recessive trait?
A recessive trait is a trait that is not shown or expressed physically but is retained within the persons genes, whereas a dominant trait is a trait which opresses the recessive trait and is prodominantly shown or expressed physically. For example it is possible for two red-haired parents, both with recessive dark haired genes, to have a dark haired child. they must both have the recessive gene or the dominant gene of red - hair will be expressed in the child
What is an example of recessive trait?
'Albinism' (being an albino, without skin pigmentation) is an example of a recessive trait. Specifically, it is an expressed recessive trait, because that person does not have the dominant gene at all, only two copies of a recessive gene. For a person to be an albino, his/her parents BOTH had to have the recessive gene and the offspring had to inherit THOSE TWO copies and can now only 'express' the recessive gene. There is no dominant gene to undo the albino trait. Side note: there is more than one form of albinism recognized in medical science, but all are examples of recessive traits. Another example of a recessive trait would be 'sickle-cell disease/anemia.'
Is diabetes dominant or recessive trait?
It is a recessive trait

What is a recessive traits?
An x-linked recessive trait is a trait located on a x gene that is not dominant. It typically will show up when there is only 1 x gene, in the instance of males. Color blindness is an example.
What a recessive trait?
A recessive trait is a trait that is not dominant, and is not really seen in ones phenotype.
When does a recessive trait dominant over a dominant trait?
When two recessive genes are inherited, and the portion of recessive inheritance is 51% or greater in favor of the recessive trait.
