What else can I help you with?
Which genes are dominant and which are recessive?
Dominant genes are always expressed in preference to recessive genes in cased where both genes are present.
A gene that is not expressed when paired with a dominant allele is called?
A recessive gene. These genes are masked by dominant genes when they are present together in an individual's genetic makeup.
Genes that are not expressed if a dominant gene is present are called?
Recessive genes. These genes are only observed when an individual inherits two copies of the recessive allele.
The weaker of two genes is called what?
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.
What is the difference between dominant and recessive gene?
There are no such things as dominant and recessive genes. There are only dominant and recessive alleles. Dominant alleles are parts of a gene that present its features over the recessive allele, which is the one that is always masked by the dominant allele. The recessive allele's trait only shows if both of the alleles in a trait are recessive.
Genes that prevent the other gene from showing traits are called?
Dominant genes. Dominant genes are always expressed in an organism's phenotype when present, masking the expression of recessive genes.
Which versions of genes are dominant over others in genetic inheritance?
In genetic inheritance, dominant genes are versions of genes that are expressed over recessive genes. Dominant genes mask the effects of recessive genes when they are present together in an individual's genetic makeup.
When the alleles present for a trait are the same. the genes are called?
When the alleles present for a trait are the same, the genes are called homozygous. This means that both alleles for a particular gene are identical. Homozygous individuals can have either two dominant alleles (homozygous dominant) or two recessive alleles (homozygous recessive).
Why are some genes are called dominant?
cause they can fool bi**
What trait is expressed when two different genes for the same trait are present is called?
It depends which one is the dominant gene, and which is recessive. Dominant always over rules recessive. I probably spelled recessive wrong so yeah... :P
Can 4 recessive genes make a dominant gene?
No, the presence of 4 recessive genes cannot result in a dominant gene. Dominant genes are expressed when at least one copy of the dominant allele is present, masking the effects of any recessive alleles.
What are the difference between dominant and recessive genes?
Dominant genes will cover up recessive genes. Take a simplified version of eye color for example. Brown is dominant and blue is recessive. Someone might have the allele for both brown and blue, but their eyes will be brown because of the dominent brown gene. If there are two parents that carry the recessive gene, neither will be blue eyed, but they will have a chance of having a blue eyed child if both pass on the recessive gene.
